Excellent recipe! The apple cider vinegar and sugar combination are an excellent choice for a great option other than boiling with a big fat ham hock (as my folks prepare them. I've braised my greens in the past, but didn't add as much liquid, so they weren't as tender as the results from this recipe. I do not like greens that are boiled mush, but rather have them where I need to chew them. Great recipe Dave! Thanks for sharing...

I loved this! Having never made collard greens before, I was a bit nervous, but it was delicious! Used green chard instead of mustard greens as that is what I had on hand. Think draining some of the bacon fat might make it better as it was a little less greasy, but well worth it. Will definitely be making it again!

I made this with all collard greens because my husband likes them so much. I dumped a lot of the grease as it grossed me out and put only two tablespoons of vinegar because it seemed like it would be too overpowering. This came out awesome! I made it on Thanksgiving and that is a risky thing to do for a first time recipe and everyone loved it. Great recipe!
