Put split peas into a bowl and cover with water to soak overnight.2Drain the salt beef and place it into a large stockpot. Cover with fresh water, at least 6-7 litres. Place the split peas into a pease pudding canvas bag or triple layer of cheesecloth and tie, making sure to leave room for peas to expand inside the bag.3Put the bag inside the pot, tying the strings to the outside handle so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot with the salt beef. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 hours.4Remove the peas pudding bag and empty contents into a bowl, mixing with butter and pepper for taste. Set aside.5Add your cabbage to the pot and boil for 20 more minutes.
