BEST EVER COLLARD GREENS
This is my own recipe for collard greens. Once I made them this way my husband won't let me cook them any other way. People who don't typically like greens like these. It is also good with turnips and mustards. I add some of the turnip root if I use turnips.

- In a large pot, bring 3-4 quarts of water to a boil and add smoked meat, house seasoning, seasoned salt and hot sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook for at least 1 hour.
- Step 2:.
- Wash the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems that run down the center by holding the leaf in your left hand and stripping the leaf down with your right hand. The tender young leaves in the heart of the collards don't need to be stripped. Stack 6 to 8 leaves on top of one another, roll up, and slice into 1/2 to 1-ince thick slices. Place greens in pot with meat and add butter. Cook for an hour to two hours.stirring occasionally, I have found the longer you cook it the better it is! When done taste and adjust seasoning.
- When I eat my collards I enjoy pouring some white vinegar over them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender collard greens. Look for leaves that are deep green and free of blemishes.

- Season the collard greens with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add other ingredients like bacon, ham, or sausage.
- Cook the collard greens for at least 1 hour, or until they are tender. The longer you cook them, the more flavorful they will be.
- Serve the collard greens hot with cornbread, mashed potatoes, or other Southern sides.
