Answer 1

INGREDIENTS:
mustard greens, well washed
ham, bacon, or fat back
water
sugar, optional
PREPARATION:
Wash your mustard greens 3 or 4 times in fresh water, draining them each time. (there's nothing worse than gritty mustard greens) Then strip the leafy part from the stems and throw the stems to the chickens, if you got any.

Title: Mustard and Turnip Greens
Categories: Southern, Vegetables
Yield: 1 Big pot

2 Or 3 bunches of turnip and
Mustard greens
1 Large onion, chopped
1 1/2 lb Salt pork or bacon

Salt and pepper to taste; stem and pick greens; wash several times;
put greens in large pot; add 1 cup water. Add salt pork, onion and
seasoning if desired. Cook slowly until meat and greens are tender.

Serve greens with hot buttered cornbread. Just for the information,
the liquid in the greens is the famous "Pot Likker". With the family
folk the cornbread is usually dunked therein.
