I actually remember her making it on New Years because it has black-eyed peas and ham in it Also, I made this in both the slow cooker and the Instant Pot/ pressure cooker. There is a time and place for both, in my opinion. I am really getting into using my slow cooker! Because it's just the two of us, I don't bring them out too often because the size of slow cookers I own are too large for two servings. In a colander, rinse beans thoroughly.
