"This recipe yields the best tasting greens I have ever eaten! I have yet to have a batch of bitter greens when cooked this way.

My gram used to make collard greens with salt pork, but down here in the south they use ham hocks, necks, and fatback, soooooooo I decided I was going to try the southern thing with a little twist of my own.
