Fresh peas are only available for a short period in the summer. it costs
more for a quart of peas than it does for a large bag of frozen. After
15-20 minutes of shucking peas you end up with enough for two small
servings. I really like fresh peas, but I find it hard to spend so much
more and go to so much work for so little. However, I confess to
actually liking canned peas.
