Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb trimmed and washed collard greens (can sub mustard or turnip , if desired)
8 cups stock ( chicken , veggie , pork, etc would all work... i use my own from when i smoke pork in my slow cooker, like here: easy smoked meat)
8 cups water
2 tsp liquid smoke (can use less if using a smoky stock)
1 tsp chipotle tabasco sauce
1 large or 2 small lemons
1/2 lb smoked bacon
2 medium onions, sliced in thin rings
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sparkling wine or juice (i used a sparkling apple wine, as i used it, also, in this recipe; marinated pork chops with dijon mushroom cream sauce
1/2 cup honey
2-3 tsp kosher, sea or smoked salt(these will need a fair bit of salt...i used a rounded t, each, of applewood smoked salt
fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Pour stock into large soup or stock pot.
Add greens, then water to cover.
Add hot sauce, liquid smoke and about 1/2 the salt/pepper
Heat over high heat til boiling.
Meanwhile, cook bacon til crisp and crumble.
Pour off all but about 4T grease(reserve for mushroom sauce used in previous mentioned recipe, if desired ;)
