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.

Loved it! I cut the sugar out for the Diabetics in the family.

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.

Was very tasty - I might consider cutting the sugar to 1/2 cup but otherwise I'd make this again!!! Very Good!!

Pat, Gina tried and will continue to cook this version of this recipe. I used chicken broth instead of water. 1/3cup of sugar. I can't have to much sugar. The greens turned out Great! Keep on keeping on you two. I love the books and show.

I loved them except the sugar. I knew it would be too sweet for my personal taste so I cut it back to about a third the recipe asked for it was perfect. Not a recipe flaw but just a matter of personal taste. They turned out fantastic and my fiance is still talking about them a week later.

Cut a huge load of collards today and used this recipe for the first time. Added 1/4 C apple cider vinegar. Used 1/3 C sugar and 2TB red pepper flakes. Cut greens' cooking time down to 45 minutes b/c I don't like them mushy. Stellar!

OUTSTANDING! I followed the directions but I used smoked turkey legs I did on the grill. Cooked them down for about 1 hour, the next morning I threw the greens in the crock pot and cooked them on the low setting for about 6 hours....delicious! I also used red pepper powder with fresh garlic and onion.

These were the best collards I've ever eaten, let alone cooked myself! I agree with reducing the sugar a little, but think you need a little sweetness to balance with the red pepper flakes. Only thing I'll do differently next time is cook a larger amount; there were no leftovers :(
