Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Wash the greens thoroughly, cutting off any small roots. Select 1 peck of your choice of greens, ensuring they are tender and fresh.
-
Step 2.
Place the washed greens into a large uncovered pot and fill the pot two-thirds full with boiling water. Cook until the greens are tender, then drain them.
-
Step 3.
Return the drained greens to the pot. Add sliced salt pork and 1 quart of boiling water. Cook uncovered for about 1 ½ hours, or until the water evaporates. Taste the greens periodically; cooking time may vary depending on the tenderness of the greens.
-
Step 4.
If the greens taste too bitter when done, stir in a splash of cider vinegar to balance the flavor. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
