Ingredients

1/2 pound chopped bacon
3 cups chopped yellow onions
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Cayenne pepper
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 cups water
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
6 pounds assorted greens, such as mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, kale and

spinach, washed and stemmed

Directions

In a large pot, saute the bacon
until slightly crisp. Add the onions and season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Cook 6 to 7 minutes, until the onions are wilted and golden. Add the brown sugar and stir
to dissolve. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the water and vinegar
and mix well. Begin adding the greens, a third at a time, pressing them down as they
begin to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook,
uncovered, until the greens are soft, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve hot.
