This is an old Southern style recipe for country greens that my grandma used to make at all our holiday meals. It was a hit even with the kids. Ingredients:
3 bunches fresh mustard greens |
3 bunches fresh turnip greens |
1/4 cup butter |
1/2 cup dill pickle juice |
5 slices bacon |
1/3 cup sliced onion |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Rinse the mustard and turnip greens thoroughly to remove gritty dirt, and place in a 12 quart pot with 8 cups of water. Add the butter, pickle juice, bacon and onion, and bring to a rolling boil.
2. Continue cooking at a full boil for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, until tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
