6 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces salt pork
  • 8 cups water
  • salt to taste
  • 2 bunches collard greens
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 4 teaspoons white sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the pork, water and salt in a medium size pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Skim off any fat that rises to the top. Reduce temperature to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, prepare greens. Discard damaged or yellow parts of leaves. Cut away the tough ends from each leaf. Place greens in a colander, and wash thoroughly until rinse water is clear of dirt. Fold each leaf in half at its center vein, fold over once or twice more, then cut in half.
  3. 3
    Stir prepared greens into the simmering liquid. Let simmer all together for approximately 1 hour over low heat. Ladle into shallow bowls, and add sugar and cider vinegar to each bowl. Serve.
