Submitted by beckyvo

Makes 8 servings


A little sweet and a little spicy. Never bitter. Use collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, beet greens, kale, or any combination of the above.

Ingredients
12 cups collards, raw (1 bunch)
12 cups turnip greens, raw (1 bunch)
4 units bacon (12 slices), chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 serrano pepper, minced
24 oz. chicken broth
Directions
  1. Tear greens into bite-size pieces, discarding stems. Bring a pot of water to boil and add greens. Boil for 6 minutes, then drain.

  2. Fry bacon until done, but not crispy. Set aside bacon, reserving around 1 tbsp fat in the pan. Add onion to the pan and cook until soft. Add garlic and pepper and saute 1 minute. Add sugar and vinegar and cook until sugar is dissolved.

  3. Place onion mixture and greens in slow cooker and combine. Pour chicken broth over the top. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
