Steps:
- Pull the leaf portions of the collard, mustard, and turnip greens away from the tough stems, and discard the stems. Gently wash the greens in warm water to remove all soil and sand. Partially fill a clean sink with warm water, and stir in 3 tablespoons of salt and 2 cups of chicken broth; allow greens to soak in the mixture for 10 minutes. Scoop up the greens and allow to drain in a colander; discard used chicken broth. Do not rinse the greens.
- Pour the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth into a large pot, and mix in the greens. Stir in vegetable oil, garlic, bacon bits, and sugar, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

- 2. Triple wash all the greens and trim. Strip away any large veins. Cut greens into ribbons. Keep collards separate as they require a longer cooking time.
- 3. After ham hocks have cook sufficiently, add collards and cook for about 15 minutes.
- 4. Add mustard and turnip greens. After they have cooked down, taste for seasoning and adjust. Continue cooking until greens are to your liking. If they are too bitter for your taste toward the end of cooking, add some honey.
- 5. Remove ham hocks from pot, dice meat and add back to the greens.
- 6. Serve with hot pepper vinegar.
