Plenty of fatback grease, salt, water. Cook till tender. No need to complicate.

Ham hock, water, brown sugar, salt, pepper, butter and some cayenne pepper. Stem them too. I hate collards full of stems.

And if you drink beer, cook them like above in that.

[Fishinmission]

I cook an onion with some red pepper flakes add ham hock or some type of pork, water or maybe some chicken stock if I have it then mix in some cider vinegar just to give them some bite.

If your not putting sassards artichoke relish on top, your messing up.

Don’t forget the ketchup

Scroll down to post #12 by Vikki. I have used that recipe many times with a lot of success. As it says, the key is cleaning them extremely well.

Pour a little Makers Mark in them while they’re cooking.

What salty said but instead of the brown sugar use molasses. And a little crystal.

[billyjack]

Actually, pour in about half a cup after you’ve carmelized some onions in bacon fat in the pot, cut off the heat and light it. Then add you chicken stock and collards.

You using fresh collards

i dont cook collards unless I have sausage grease. the wife, however, will be in the mood for them and she uses a package of stuff from the grocery store with a black fella on the label. I cant remember the name but it seems to work well and tastes just fine.
Vinegar/limbo Tabasco peppers on top....

Wife cooks them, not sure what all she does but I know she will use ham bone from Ham we had for Christmas. She will also use Goya ham seasoning (she uses this all the time ) She also adds sugar, not sure how much or if brown or white

Her’s pretty good but honestly only time we eat them plus we got all the other New Year day fixings as well

Other than that I like greens for food plots

[billyjack]

Along with thick bacon and carmelized onions or shallots, toss in a hamhock and brown it in the pot for some salt and smoke. I’ll also use a country ham bone. Sometimes both if I got them.

A clove or three of garlic but add right before you add stock and don’t burn it.

Add a little apple vinegar to the stock before adding the collards.

Some brown sugar unless it has been really cold outside to release the sugars in the collards. At least that’s what my mom used to say.

That Goya Jambone is a good all-around seasoning for greens and peas/butterbeans.

I start with jowls fried in the pot, remove the stems wash real good. Cook them way down with a couple cayennes and salt and pepper. Then add a little sugar and the jowls my kids haven’t eaten. Serve with pepper vinegar.

I have friends over near Gilbert who grow and cook lots of collards. Granny told me add some sugar while they are boiling. If you don't get the greens to a boil for about 7-8 minutes , they will be tough no matter how long they simmer.. I like chicken stock, onions, coarse black pepper and some vinegar added to mine.

For God's sake, please don't put Dale's or Allegro or Ranch dressing in the pot.

This. No need to re invent the wheel.
