After years and years of living in the deep South we have never developed a taste for collard greens but this is how I fix my turnip greens!!!!!! Cornbread, fried taters, fried corn and sliced maters!!!!!!!!!!!! Great post.

I made a recipe similar to this several years ago, and it's great! I am going to check out the price of collard greens in the store and then weigh out 4 pounds just for grins, 'cause I'm thinking that in my neck of the woods they would be really pricey! Will let you know!

I grew up eating collard greens - Southern gal through and through - and I've always loved them fixed this very way. My mama always used ham hocks and always added red pepper flakes to the party. We always had a jar of pickled peppers on hand and would drizzle the vinegary juice over the top of our plated greens. Ohhh, and had to have cornbread to sop up that delicious pot liquor (potlikker)...Mmmm.....pure heaven. Great post, hon - thanks for sharing your good eats! ;)

Made these the other day and they were great....A keeper for sure....Imagine, a New Englander having collards and pulled pork all in the same day.......:)

Reminds me of going to my grandma's house in Mississippi! I learned to love collards and any other greens there. This sounds great I know what I'm having for dinner. Thanks
