To prepare Shurfine Sweet Peas, you can simply drain them and heat them gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop heating, place the drained peas in a saucepan with a small amount of water or butter and warm over low heat until tender.

They can also be added directly to hot dishes like soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through.
