Canned?
Get your greens fresh, and your black-eyed peas dried.
Soak the peas overnight in good clean water, and slow simmer them, the nest day, with the salt and pepper being added in the last thirty minutes of their cooking.
Cook to the tenderness you like, and I use a little beef fat with them.

I’ve done black eye peas, darling, dry, fresh, home grown and canned. They all are just something I eat on New Year’s Day because I have to. This year I did dried great northern white beans with ham hock and veggies and it was wonderful and added the black eyed peas at the end.
