Collard Greens
1 bunch fresh collard greens
1 medium piece salt pork
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon bacon drippings butter or margarine
1 Pinch sugar (optional)
Strip the stems from the greens (unless they are very tender) and
wash thoroughly. Place the greens in a saucepan and add the pork,
water, and salt. Cook, covered, for 45 minutes over medium heat or
until tender. Remove the pork and pour the greens into a colander to
drain. Place the greens in a pan and chop, scissor-like with 2
knives. If necessary, add more salt, to taste. Keep hot and add the
bacon drippings and a pinch of sugar.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
