Time 3h55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 ounces fresh collard greens
10 ounces fresh mustard greens
10 ounces fresh turnip greens
2 medium onions, halved lengthwise, sliced
3 medium turnips, halved lengthwise, sliced
3/4 lb tasso or 3/4 lb smoked ham, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup picante sauce
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place all greens in sink or a large pot; fill to brim with lukewarm water. Let greens stand 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove greens from water without disturbing sandy-silt which has settled to the bottom. Wash leaves under running water; tear leaves into small pieces, removing tough ribs.
  • Place torn greens, onions, turnips, and tasso or ham in a 10- to 12-quart soup pot; fill to top with water. Add sugar, picante sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil 5 minutes. Reduce heat. Barely simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 hours. Taste for seasoning; adjust if necessary. Greens should have lots of liquid left; add more water if necessary. Serve hot.
