SOUTHERN TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• Remove the center stems from the greens. Discard the stems and coarsely chop the leaves.
• Heat the pork jowls in a large stock pot over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes to render off some of the grease, but so not drain the grease.

• Add the cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to the pot. Bring the pot to a boil again.
• Add the greens. You may need to work in batches, allowing the greens to wilt down to make room for more.

TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• In a 3-quart saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and/or bacon grease (optional) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 1 quart water and the pig tail and House Seasoning. Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce the heat and allow the meat to cook for 2 hours.
• Add the greens – they will fill the pot, but they will cook down very quickly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook the greens until they are tender, 20 to 40 minutes, depending on how young and tender they are and how tender you like your greens.
• Note: When you reheat the leftovers, add 2 teaspoons hot sauce.
