Ingredients
- 3 large bundles collard greens, well-washed
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Remove stems from greens and discard. Roll up like a cigar and slice into ribbons.
In a large pot over medium heat, add bacon, onion, and garlic. Render bacon until crisp and the onion is tender, about 6 minutes.
Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, broth, and bourbon. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir in the collard greens in batches. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours until tender and soft.

Thanks Neelys, ever since I made these greens that's the only way my family wants them now. For everyone that say it's too sweet cut down on the sugar or omit it all together and omit the bourbon (i never use it. Again Thanks Neelys for another tasty recipe.

These are some of the best collard greens I have ever had. I can't see making them any other way.
