Directions:
Cut excessive middle veins out of collards. Wash collards well 1-2 times in cold water. Roll about 6 leaves together and slice with knife about 3/8” width. Bring to roaring boil about an inch of water in big pot. Let collards cook just until the water begins to color. Drain collards. (This reduces bitterness). Fry out a little bit of bacon to obtain fat back. Bring to boil about an inch of water in a big pot again.Add fat back, salt, a pinch of baking soda (reduces bitterness), and 1 tablespoon sugar to water and stir well. Add collards to water. Simmer on medium 40 minutes.

Personal Notes:
The secret is not too much water and do not overcook, but cook well enough to get flavor.
