Spicy Collard Greens

By Dolphl1970

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 6 cups water
• 2 bunches collard greens, stemmed and roughly chopped
• 1 to 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• Sea salt and ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until just crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then carefully discard bacon fat and return pot to the stove. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon.

Add water to pot and bring to a boil. Add bacon, greens, jalapeños, vinegar, salt and pepper, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until greens are tender and "pot likker" liquid is flavorful, about 1 hour.
