Fresh Turnip, Mustard, Or Collard Greens

Directions

1. Check leaves of greens carefully; remove pulpy stems and discolored spots on leaves. Wash thoroughly in several changes of hot water; add in a little salt to the last rinse. Put greens in colander to drain.
2. Cook salt pork, covered, about 10 min in 1/2 c. boiling salted water.
3. Add in greens, a few at a time; cover and cook slowly till greens are tender.
4. Don't overcook.
5. Serve with vinegar.
6. NOTE: An alternate method is to wash greens carefully and put them into a large cooker with only the water which clings to leaves. Add in salt and bacon drippings after the greens have cooked tender.
