How to make Gina's best collard greens
1) Thoroughly wash collard greens or Kale. Be sure to pull leaves apart and remove any sand. Chop coarsely.

3) In the same saucepan, add remaining ingredients and greens or Kale.
4) Cover and cook gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
*Cook's Note: Make sure at least half of ham hocks are covered with water. If not, add additional water.
