BRAISED TURNIP GREENS WITH TURNIPS AND APPLES

Braised Turnip Greens With Turnips and Apples image

Spicy, sharp turnip greens, braised gently with a smoked ham hock, are a time-honored accompaniment on southern tables at any time of the year. This version, with the ivory turnips, golden apple, and pink ham nestled among the dark greens, is especially pretty.

Ingredients

2 pounds turnip greens or other braising greens (see cooks' note, below), tough stems discarded and greens torn into small pieces
1 (3/4-to 1-pound) ham hock, rinsed
3 1/2 cups water
3 Gala apples
