Steps:
- Pull the leaf portions of the collard, mustard, and turnip greens away from the tough stems, and discard the stems. Gently wash the greens in warm water to remove all soil and sand. Partially fill a clean sink with warm water, and stir in 3 tablespoons of salt and 2 cups of chicken broth; allow greens to soak in the mixture for 10 minutes. Scoop up the greens and allow to drain in a colander; discard used chicken broth. Do not rinse the greens.
- Pour the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth into a large pot, and mix in the greens. Stir in vegetable oil, garlic, bacon bits, and sugar, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:
- Heat bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the greens. Stir-fry, I suppose, since you are stirring and frying, for 1 to 4 minutes (depends on how tough the greens are) or until greens are limp, tender, and have greatly reduced in size. Pork fat is good because it helps cover the bitterness of greens while bringing out their great flavor.
- At this point, you have a choice. Either serve them straight from the pan with a sprinkling of salt, or add 3 to 4 cups of water and salt to taste, and boil the greens 1 hour for extra tender, probably-won't-even-have-to-chew greens. If you don't have teeth, clearly you see which way to go here.

TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN GREENS (MUSTARD, TURNIP OR COLLARDS)
My family's way of "fixin'"greens. You can use any kind of green or a mix. So simple but so good. Serve with cornbread for soppin' up the pot liquor! Measurements are approximates.

Steps:
- Fill sink with cold water.
- Put in greens, making sure they have room to float.
- The greens will rise to the top, while the dirt will sink.
- Let greens sit in water for about 20 minutes.
- Scoop out greens being careful not to stir up the dirt on bottom.
- If they still look dirty, change water and repeat process.
- Finish the cleaning by rinsing under running water.
- Tear greens into pieces, throwing away thick veins and stems.
- In a large pot, heat the bacon grease over med-high.
- Add the greens and toss well with bacon grease for a couple of minutes.
- Add ham stock, salt and pepper and sugar and stir.
- Cover and simmer gently until very tender (DO NOT BOIL).
- As the greens cook, they will produce a lot of liquid that will cook down. Add water as needed to prevent burning, but only use what is necessary so your pot liquor won't be watered down.
- Cook time will vary but usually about 3 hours The flavor of collards is much better if you can cook for about 6 hours.

- Southern Turnip Greens with Ham Shanks Nothing could be more Southern than ham cooked with turnip greens. For this recipe, you can use ham shanks or leftover smoked ham if you happen to have some in the fridge.
- Swiss Chard With Bacon. As we all know, everything is better with bacon—and Swiss chard is no exception. If you are a fan of spinach, you will love Swiss chard as these greens are very similar.

- Crock Pot Black Eyed Peas and Collard Greens. Black-eyed peas and collard greens—can't think of a combination that sounds more Southern. After cooking the bacon, onion, and greens in a skillet, all of the ingredients are placed in a slow cooker and left to become a tender and flavorful dish that can be a main meal when served with a side of cornbread and tomato salad.
- Collard Greens With Okra (2 Ways) The beauty of this recipe is it can be cooked in two different ways—ideal when you either are in a rush or have a bit of time to put dinner together.
