Traditional New Year's Day Food

Wayne and Rosalie spent 3 days preparing and cooking black-eyed peas, pinto beans, and butterbeans for our family traditional New Year's Day meal in south Georgia. It was cooked with Smithfield ham to give a great flavor. It was served with white rice, chopped onion, several kinds of hot sauce (including Louisiana and Vietnamese hot sauce), pickled pepper rings, crackers, sweet tea, and 4 different kinds of pies: pumpkin, apple, cherry, and chocolate/peanut butter.
