  Soak peas over night in cold water to cover.  Drain.
  
  Place in small crockpot, add onion and ham.  Add water to cover.
  
  Cook on LOW for 12 to 24 hours - depending on how soft you want the
  beans.
  
  Cooked the test batch 30 hours - too long, got really mushy.
  
  Second batch was with smoked chicken skin/bones.  Beans were presoaked
  overnight and cooked on low - were done in 12 hours. Food Lion house
  brand.
  
  Will do again.  Will try adding smoked chicken.
