JIM'S COLLARD GREENS 
a mess of collards
red wine (sherry)
boneless pork ribs or ham hocks
sugar
vinegar
salt
pepper
onions
garlic powder
chicken broth

Like I said, take a mess of greens and a six pack of beer. Chop up greens remove stems. I use my Grandmother's large cast iron frying pan. Brown the pork ribs or boil the ham hock. Cut up large onion or use the ones already chopped up. Take one cup of red wine and one cup of sherry, pour into the pan with garlic and salt and pepper; let this cook till meat is browned.

While this is cooking, have a couple of beers or some red wine. Now take greens that you have cut up and put them in the crock pot with two cups of water. Two cups of chicken stock. One cup of apple cider vinegar and cup of sugar. Now add meat and cooked onions from your frying pan.

Cook at least eight hours on low.

Cooks Note: We tried this without the sugar, added a little balsamic vinegar and used 5 cloves freshly minced garlic! Feel free to add sugar to your taste if you want to be faithful to the original recipe. We found that they were cooked at about 4 hours but that depends upon how mature the kale greens are (baby kale will take less time).
