Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch fresh turnip greens with roots
1 medium piece salt pork
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons bacon drippings, butter, or margarine
Pinch of sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Strip the stems from the greens (unless they're very tender) and wash thoroughly. Place in a saucepan and add the pork, water, and salt. Cook, covered, for 45 minutes over medium heat, or until tender. Remove the pork and pour the greens into a colander to drain. Place in a pan and chop scissor-like with two knives. If necessary, add more salt to taste. Keep hot and add the bacon drippings and a pinch of sugar.

I'm not a big fan of turnip greens, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them! The greens were tender and flavorful, and the broth was rich and savory. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

These turnip greens were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the greens were a bit tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my turnip greens turned out way too salty. I think I'll cut back on the salt next time.
