Collards And Cornbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 bunches collard greens (turnip/mustard greens)
    salt
    water
    2 ham hocks or 1 c. ham chunks
    bacon drippings (add anytime you want)
Preparation
    Wash greens thoroughly (2 to 3 times) to remove sand.
    Take out and discard tough stems.
    Put ham hocks or ham chunks in pot.
    Add greens and fill half full with water.
    Let greens come to a boil, then turn fire down and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until seasoned and tender.
    Add salt according to taste when serving.
    Lift greens out of water into a flat bowl and cut into bite size pieces with a sharp knife.
    We like to sprinkle pepper sauce or vinegar on our plates.
