Directions:
- With a sharp knife, cut away the tough stems from the leaves.
- Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the salt and lemon juice into the water in a 6 quart pot.
- Add the collards (they will cook down to half their bulk.) Add the bacon drippings, minced garlic, and the minced jalapeno.
- Bring to a boil, stir, and reduce heat to medium low.
- Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove to a serving dish with a slotted spoon and garnish with the crumbled bacon sprinkled over the top of the greens.
- Serve the pot liquid in a small bowl along side the greens.
- Some people like more of it on their greens, and lots of people like it on their corn- bread instead of butter!
- ***Note:Ifyou cannot find collards in a bag , buy 2 bunches of fresh collards.
- Cut about 3 inches off the bottom of each bunch.
- Discard the tough outer leaves and try to pick out the freshest looking, most tender leaves.
- Rinse in cold water until no dirt or sand clings to the leaves, then follow the steps above.
