Slow
Cooker Collard Greens
| 1 c double-strength beef broth, canned
or homemade
1 c water 2 smoked ham hocks (about 9 oz. each) 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 T cider vinegar 1 t sugar ½ t crushed red pepper 3 pounds collard greens, well rinsed, thick stems trimmed off and discarded, cut crosswise into ½ inch thick strips salt to taste In a large pot, combine the broth, water, ham hocks, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add the collard greens in batches, covering the pan and waiting for each batch to wilt before adding the next batch. Transfer to a 3½ quart slow cooker. Cover and cook until the greens are very tender, 4 to 5 hours on low (200° F.). Remove the ham hocks from the greens, and
remove and discard the skin. Remove the meat from the bones, coarsely chop
the meat, and return to the slow cooker. Season the greens with salt to
taste. Serve with your favorite hot sauce and/or vinegar. Serves 4-6.
