Collard Greens with Salt Pork or Ham

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs oil
  • 1 chunk of salt pork, maybe 2" long or 1 cup chopped ham
  • 1 quart hot water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1-3 pounds collard greens

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and cook the salt pork (or ham) for 10 minutes or so, until a bit crispy.
  • Add the hot water and bring to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes to make a quick broth.
  • Add the salt, sugar, and collard greens, bring back to a boil, then lower to a simmer, stirring now and then. Cook at a slow simmer for about 45 minutes.
