"Boat House" Collard Greens

My boss gave me this recipe several years ago. The recipe supposedly came from the "Boat House" restaurant in Charleston, SC. Even people that don't like collard greens love these. This recipe is just that different!

• Ready In: 8 hrs 45 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  bunch  collard greens, stems removed and washed (Can use two bunches of greens without doubling the other ingredients, and it tastes the same)
