* You can use canned blackeyed peas if you wish. Put the soaked blackeyed peas, water, garlic, and onion in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. When tender, add the allspice, cayenne, and soy sauce. Heat for 15 -20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
