Collard greens (four great southern cooks)

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 pounds Fresh collard greens
1 pounds Slab bacon
2 tablespoons Butter
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Directions

Wash the collard greens well so that no grit remains on the leaves. Trim the stems from the leaves and cut the leaves into large strips.

Place the greens and the slab bacon in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1½ hours.

Remove the slab bacon and chop into small pieces. Drain the greens and mix with the chopped bacon, butter and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
