COLLARD GREENS 
2-3 pounds of smoked meats (neck bones, turkey legs, riblets etc.)
8-12 bunches of collard greens
garlic powder
season salt

Fill a large stock pot with cold water and add your smoked meat.

Cook over a medium flame for 2-3 hours or until meat is falling off the bone.

While you are waiting for the meat to cook pick your greens by removing the stems and cutting the leaves to the size you like them. (I like to leave them big because greens do shrink up.)

Rinse them well to remove any dirt or sand. When meat is done, add the greens to the same pot and boil on a low heat for another 1-2 hours. Halfway thru cooking, add your seasoning to taste.

DONT FORGET TO MAKE SOME CORNBREAD TO GO ALONG WITH THOSE GREENS

Wish I could give this 10 stars. It is amazing. I used smoked turkey legs - did them in crockpot over night so I would be ready next day.... as I was doing for a holiday lunch. I began night before - as this takes time if done right. It is worth every single minute you take to prepare it - especially if you love collards.

Collard are always better after a frost, makes the taste better and the greens cooks quicker. I plan to use this recipe. My grands and great grands love greens of any kind, kinda hard to believe but its true.

Forgot to add... when you do add the greens to the meat - dice up onion - and add to the pot.. Lock the door and refuse to share. Its that good.
