Answer 1

You won't need much salt pork for 3 bundles.Take the piece you bought at the store and cut it in half.Take that piece and cut it into small strips.Brown them slowly, you want the grease to season the greens.When good and brown add 1 cup hot water to the pot.Now add the clean-washed-chopped up greens to the pot(slowly and stirring)Put the lid on and cook for a good 30 mins.As the greens cook down, you add more.You will smell them when they are good and tender.Now this is up to you, but since these are mustards, I sprinkle a pinch of sugar on mine--so they are not too strong..GO GET THE CORNBREAD AND EAT UP...

Answer 2

I boil my salt pork for an hour so that all the flavor is drawn out into the water. Don't use too much water because you wont get the full flavor, start with a little water and add a little more if it seems too salty. One nice size piece of salt pork should do. This also works with mustard and collard greens.
