Turnip Greens With Salt Pork

1. 1

   Remove and discard stems and discolored spots from greens. Wash greens thoroughly; drain and tear greens into pieces. Set aside.

2. 2

   Slice salt pork at 1/4-inch intervals, cutting to, but not through, the skin.

3. 3

   Combine salt pork, 3 quarts water, pepper, and, if desired, sugar in a stainless steel pot; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.

4. 4

   Add greens, and cook, uncovered, 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Serve with a slotted spoon. You can also serve in a bowl with the pot liquor so you can dip cornbread in it.
