Eating black-eyed peas for New Year’s is a Southern tradition that can be traced back for generations. The addition of greens and cornbread to this symbolic meal has several possible origin stories, but is often associated with green being the color of US currency and the yellow cornbread representing gold. The combination of the humble peas, greens, and cornbread all point towards hope for a lucky and prosperous new year.
We at Crabtree hope that you have a joyful and healthy New Year and wish you all the good luck that you can dream of while enjoying this recipe.
