Southern Collard Greens

(Oma J.)

ham bone
collards
3 Tablespoons vinegar
4 teaspoons sugar
pinch salt

Clean them well - each leaf individually as they are sandy.  OR you can buy them in a bag chopped and cleaned.
Take a ham bone or part of the ham/bone. 
Take greens and pull the thick part of stem off.  Put all greens in pot with ham bone and just barely cover w/water;  add white vinegar, sugar, and a bit of salt.  Bring to boil;  simmer about an hour covered.  Taste to correct.  If bitter add a little more sugar - may need a bit more vinegar.
