Ingredients:  
Fresh Kale - 1 or 2 bags as it cooks down like spinach does
Water
Bacon or bacon fat
Directions:
Directions:
Strip the stems from the kale leaves and place in a pot with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil and press kale into water until it is all wilted. Lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Cool kale.

You want to remove as much water as possible from kale, so you can form it into balls and then squeeze over a bowl to catch juices.

Place kale in food processor and pulse a few time to chop finely. Do not over do it, or you will puree it.

Return kale to a pot and add some of the juices that were saved. Add 1 tbsp of bacon fat or chop up 2 slices of bacon and add that to the kale. Cook on low heat for 30 minutes.

NOTE: Kale tastes best if a frost has been on it. Living in the south that won't happen, so I place the kale in the freezer for about an hour before I strip the stems from the leaves. Freezing it like that takes the bitterness out of the leaves.
