Name: Southern Collard Greens

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds collard greens
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, diced (optional)
• 2 quarts chicken stock or broth
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar, or maple syrup

Instructions:

• Wash and chop collard greens. Set aside.
• Cook bacon and onion in a large stockpot or Dutch oven until the bacon is crispy.
• Add chicken stock, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and collard greens.
• Reduce heat to low and cook until the greens have reached the desired level of tenderness, perhaps about 2 hours.

Comments: 12/31/2023 - I used a one-pound bag of frozen collard greens. The cooking instructions for microwave called for adding 1 cup of water, zapping for 6 minutes, stirring, and then zapping for another 15 minutes. I used chicken broth in place of the water. At 6 minutes, I added sautéed onions, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup, in amounts scaled to the weight of the greens.
