Ingredients:
2# Bag Glory Chopped Collards
3 TBS. Bacon Grease
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1 tsp. sugar
Vidalia onion,chopped
Pepper Sauce
Peeled and quartered turnips
Instructions:
Soak greens in 2 tsp. baking soda for about an hour. Wash well, and remove large stems. Melt bacon grease in large pan, then add greens and seasonings. The sugar helps tone down the bitterness. Cover, and simmer slowly for about 1 1/2 hours. Keep an eye on the greens, and if the broth from the greens cooks away, add a little water. We serve ours with fresh turnips cooked on top of greens, chopped onion, and pepper sauce...the real peppers distilled in vinegar. Add turnips on top of greens during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
My husband loves greens cooked this way..I hope you will too.
