Recipe - Collard Greens (Pc)

5 pound Collard greens, cut up
6 cup Ham hock liquid
2 Ham hocks
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to
Taste
Three fourths teaspoon Sugar

Recipe by: Ron Morris Put ham hocks in pressure cooker with 6 cups of
water. Cook for 20 minutes (if you don't have a pressure cooker boil the
ham hocks for thirty minutes in a pot while maintaining 6 cups liquid).
Meanwhile, clean greens thoroughly and cut the leaves off each side of the
main stem, then cut the leaves into whatever size you like. Place the
greens in a large pot (I use a 12 qt. stainless steel stock pot), add ham
hock liquid, ham hocks, salt, pepper and sugar. Stir and simmer to desired
tenderness (16 hours). Correct for seasonings and give them a good stir
every once in a while. When done, add bits of ham from the hocks (optional)
and serve with hot pepper sauce (peppers in vinegar). **NOTE** If the ham
hock taste is too strong for you try using only one hock OR, 3 cups ham
hock liquid and 3 cups water.
