Ingredients

  • 5 bundles collard greens
  • 4 cups salted water
  • 3 large smoked ham hocks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Thoroughly wash collard greens. Be sure to pull leaves apart and remove any sand. Chop collard greens.

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of salted water to a simmer. Place smoked ham hocks in salted water and cover for about 90 minutes. Cook ham hocks until slightly tender. In the same saucepan, add remaining ingredients and collard greens.

    I loved it! I had never cooked collards. This was my first attempt and it came out excellent. I did alter the recipe a little by using pork jowl bacon, but it still worked.

    I want to give this recipe 5 stars - but it needs a time edit. Total cook time is listed as 2 hours 15 minutes BUT if you read the directions you have two stages to the cooking that total 3 hours plus prep. I didn't catch this until I was already cooking and had to take short cuts to get them done in time.
