I have been making this exact recipe all my life.  I&#039;m 70.  I use ham hocks but I cook them in water or chicken stock first and then put the stock in the fridge overnight and skim the fat in the morning.  I have used split green or yellow peas.  Sometimes I use 1 cup split and 1 1/2 cups whole peas for texture.  Everyone loves it.
