Sugar Peas

My favorite way to eat Sugar Peas (besides just crunching them out of hand) is this recipe from the old timers in our family. It's kind of like soup with not so much broth

Dice and cook 1-2 cups potatoes (peeled or not, your choice) in salted water until they are al dente. While the potates cook remove the strings from your peas (1-2 cups). Drain and set aside. In your medium saucepan, melt a few tablespoons of butter then stir in an equal amount of flour. Cook it for a minute or two to eliminate that raw flour taste. A little at a time, stir in cold milk and cook over medium heat until the consistency is a pleasant sauce - keep it moving gently to it doesn't make clumps and keep adding milk as you need it. When you get tired of that, salt it to your liking. Add peas and potatoes and heat through. Take care not to cook the peas much. They are not as good if they get floppy. Enjoy!
