Ingredients:

2 smoked ham hocks

2 tbsp vinegar brine from a jar of sliced jalapeno peppers
1/2 tsp pepper
1 bunch collard greens, trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch strips

Transfer ham hocks and greens to a 5-quart slow cooker; pour cooking liquid over top. Cover and cook on low setting 8 hours or until greens are tender but not mushy, adding more water as necessary to keep crock at least half full of liquid.
Remove ham hocks, dice meat and return to slow cooker. Serve over rice, if desired.
