Black-Eyed Peas & Rice for Baby

Rinse and sort beans. In large stockpot, add beans and water to cover by about an inch. Let
soak overnight. OR, you can use quick soak method: Instead of soaking overnight, bring to
boil and boil for 5 minutes. Then let soak for 1 hour. Once either of those are done, then
bring back to boil, adding more water to cover if necessary. Simmer covered for 1 1/2
hours until tender. During last 15 minutes of cooking add rice powder. Drain excess liquid
and remove to food processor, adding the cooked ham. Process until smooth, adding more liquid
if necessary. Do not make too thick or it can cause baby to choke. Freeze in ice cube trays.
