Ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 6 cup water
  • 2 bunches collard greens, stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 1 jalapeƱos, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • sea salt and ground black pepper
Directions
  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until just crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then carefully discard bacon fat and return pot to the stove. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon.
  2. Add water to pot and bring to a boil. Add bacon, greens, jalapeƱos, vinegar, salt, and pepper, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until greens are tender and "pot likker" liquid is flavorful, about 1 hour.
