"Being a California girl, collard greens were never part of my cooking repertoire. But now, living in Florida, I just can't stay away from them! This is the best recipe I've found, slightly tweaked! And oh-so-easy! The key here is to use a really good hickory-smoked or applewood bacon."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook bacon in a heavy 10-qt. stockpot over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes or until almost crisp. Add onion, and sauté for 8 minutes.
Step 2
Add ham and garlic, and sauté 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir in half the broth and remaining ingredients. Cook until desired degree of tenderness, keeping an eye on the liquid level, adding more as needed. I rarely add more than half (16 oz). It should have a layer of liquid at the bottom, but not soupy. I normally cook for about 45-60 minutes.
