Directions:

  1. Rinse and sort peas, and place in a large bowl. Add water to cover by 2 inches. Cover bowl, and let stand overnight. Drain peas.
  2. In a 3-quart saucepan, add peas, vegetable stock, and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 hours or until peas are tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Chill until ready to use.
  3. To make dressing: In a medium bowl, mix together vinegar, sorghum, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil.
  4. In another medium bowl, combine cooked peas, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, celery, and onion. Toss with desired amount of dressing, and chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in parsley and bacon.
