10 Steps to Canning Split Pea Soup

Step 4, Dicing the Ham

Bernice gets in most of the pictures because Paul does the photography. We used a pound and a half of boneless processed honey baked ham for our four batches of soup. Amount of ham is not critical. For vegetarians just omit the ham. We like chunks so we just dice the ham. We like about 1/4 inch cubes so we slice 1/4 inch slices and the cut them into 1/2 strips and so on. We add the ham and spices at this time to the peas.
