  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.

Recipe Note

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.
