Ingredients

1 1/2 quarts water
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 1/2 pounds pork neck bones, or 2 ham hocks
8 pounds collards
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup cider or white vinegar
Salt and pepper
Serving Suggestion: diced raw onions and vinegar

Directions

Place water in a large pot. Add red pepper and bones or hocks and simmer for about 1 hour while preparing greens.

To prepare greens, discard damaged or yellow parts of leaves. Cut away tough stems from each leaf and wash collards thoroughly until rinse water is clear of dirt or grit. Collard leaves are large and usually require cutting before cooking. To do so, fold leaf in half at its center vein, fold over once or twice, then cut in half with scissors or knife. Add remaining ingredients to bones in boiling water, then add greens. Cover and cook rapidly for about 30 minutes or until greens are tender but firm. Best served with diced raw onions and vinegar.

We used to live in Atlanta and patronized some great southern restaurants and my daughter told me my greens were better than... her favorite soul food restaurant. I was beaming, thanks.Read more

OH YEA!

Everyone raved over my collard greens. I used instead of ham hocks smoked rib tips & instead of the crushed red pepper used a... teaspoon of cayenne pepper. It gave it a kick. Oh, they were soooo good.Read more
