3 hearts of palm
1/2 lb. bacon
3 or 5 tsp. salt
3 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic
3 tsp. sugar
Enough water to cover ingredients
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce

Combine ingredients, taste for salt (add to taste). Cook in deep pot covered until soft. Serve hot. Cooking time at slow boil is approximately 35 minutes. Better flavor results with slow simmer over a little longer period of time.
