Heavenly Collards - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large bunch collard greens
1 small pkg. frozen whole okra
1 medium onion, diced
3 slices thick sliced bacon or hog jowl, cut up into small pieces
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt

Preparation

Saute onion and bacon or hog jowl together and set aside. Don't drain.
Wash collard leaves thoroughly.
To chop collard greens, just stack 7 to 8 leaves, roll them up and chop.
It makes chopping much faster.
In large pot, add collards to boiling water. They will all fit as they begin to wilt.
Boil for 1 to 2 minutes after all collards are in pot.
Pour off water.
Cover collards with fresh water.
Add all other ingredients and cook 2 hours on low to medium heat.
Collards will cook down and almost all water will be gone.
