I failed though when blending the boiled mix as the blender broke and gave my whole kitchen including myself a code green situation 
Nice. I once forgot I'd already opened a bottle of vinaigrette before I gave it a voilent shaking, covering me and half the kitchen in the filthy stuff.Urban Sports said:
I agree with this, in fact I made some homemade pea soup yesterday and chucked in half a cup of mushy peas that were in the fridge!!
Not keen on Pea soup,good idea though!Urban Sports said:

I did that at school with a bottle of mayonnaise. I can still remember looking up and seeing graceful zig-zag arcs of mayonnaise sailing upwards - and then descending...Mushy peas eh - well, i prefer garden peas.
But if a can is opened, it's true that one can't eat it all by himself in one go...well, some could but that's not the point.
Not keen on freezing it - would eat it within 2-3 days anyway.
Decanter leftover peas into small bowl/plastic container, cover it up and in the fridge it goes.

You can make your own from dried marrowfat peas;
Put the peas in a large bowl and sprinkle with the sodium bicarbonate. Pour warm water over the peas, enough to cover them by 6cm to allow for swelling. Stir and leave overnight.
Drain the peas and put in a large saucepan. Pour in sufficient water to cover. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes. The peas should break down and ‘fall’ into the liquid. Add a little more water if you like them very mushy. Season to taste at the end of cooking.

What's wrong with just buying a 1kg bag of frozen mushy peas and using what you need each time?
Just never thought to try frozen peas,,will try them see what they taste like.LordGrover said:
Sainsbury's do small-ish cans, they look about half a baked bean tin size.
There isn't a Sainsbury's that close to me,not going to go there just for mushy peas,but thanks for the info. Tumbler said:

There lies a problem, I am simply not organised enough or can be arsed with that sort of thing.Put the peas in a large bowl and sprinkle with the sodium bicarbonate. Pour warm water over the peas, enough to cover them by 6cm to allow for swelling. Stir and leave overnight.

Can't the OP just call via a chippy on the way home and pick up a portion, what are they - 60p??
On another note, has anyone on this thread ever lived in Nottingham and been to the stall in the Vicki Centre fish market for a few cockles and whelks and a portion of mushy peas from the massive vat they have in there??
One of the few things I miss about the place.
you could always get a larger tin and make this with the remainder of the peas
