    STOP what you are doing and make this recipe! It is amazing. I made it with ham hocks, they were on sale. As soon as I finish this batch I am making another.

    Pretty good. The beer and the molasses add layers of flavor I don't usually have. But, use chicken or vegetable stock (preferably homemade instead of the water.

    Very good. Would have preferred a little more kick. Next time I will add more cayenne pepper, but overall, very good recipe.

    I love these greens. I've made them two years in a row for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they're just so good. I use whatever seasonal greens are available in my neighborhood, and they are a no-fail recipe for some darn tasty greens.

    Wow. My grandmother boiled greens in water seasoned only with salt pork and my mother boiled greens in water with salt pork and for my whole life, until today, I boiled greens in plain water with salt pork. Never again. This is WONDERFUL. I've never been too enthusiastic about the pot liquor until now. I think this falls into the category of liquid gold.

    This was my first time cooking greens. I was looking for something close to Cracker Barrel's turnip greens and I think these were better!
    I cut the recipe in half but wish I hadn't. It only made three main course servings. I splurged by buying the really good thick cut applewood smoked bacon and even doing this the whole pot cost about five bucks.
    I served it with low fat corn bread and it was AWESOME! I can't wait to make it again!
