Salt

Directions:
Directions:
In a large pot, cook the ham hock in the water until done. Remove the meat and set aside. (You can then slice the ham from that and make a few ham biscuits).

Wash the vegetables in cool water. Visually inspect them and remove any damaged leaves. Snip off any long stem and discard the stems.

Bring the ham juice water to a boil. Add in the leafy vegetables. They will be "heaping". With a large spoon, punch them down in the pot. Cover and simmer for a short while. Then remove the cover and punch them down again. Repeat until the vegetables are fully immersed in the water.

Add salt & pepper. Simmer until they are done.

Personal Notes:
Greens are one of Chay's favorites.
Memaw really likes all "boiled dinners".
