Directions:
Directions:
Before we start cooking the greens let get the ham hock cooking. Rinse ham hock and place in pot and cover with water. Bring water to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to just above simmer and let meat cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours until meat is tender. Add additionally water if necessary.

While the ham hocks are cooking go ahead, cut and clean your greens. Remove greens from the stems. Place several greens in layers (stack several leaves on top of each other) and roll them up. Using a cutting board and knife cut leaves into 1 inch thick strips.

Next rinses cut greens several times in cold water to remove dirt or sand. When your ham hocks start to become tender, add the greens, bouillon cube, chopped onion, and sugar to pot. Bring water to bowl. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 1-2 hours until greens are tender. Stir your greens often to distribute the ham hock and increase the flavor. Once your greens began to become tender add salt and pepper to taste.
