Personal Notes:
The following is an age old ritual for cooking any type of greens. While preparing fresh greens, place meat which may be salt pork, smoked meat such as ham, neck bones, ribs, turkey etc. in enough water to cover and cook over medium high heat until done. Approximately 1 hour.

Preparation of greens: Pick greens by removing dead leaves, excess stems, and any insects or debris from each leaf. Collards greens are believed to taste better when cooked after the frost falls on them. The stems of collards are cut away; greens are stacked, rolled cigar-like, and cut into thin strips. Wash any greens to be cleaned in salt water first to remove any insects and/or worms present on the greens. Then, wash greens in several changes of water until water is clear indicating that all debris, dirt etc. has been removed. Add greens, along with desired seasoning to the boiled meat and cook until tender and done.
