Thank you to our
A few more favorite foods for the holidays
3 pounds of Christmas Collards
They are washed thoroughly, bunches cut into halves
While this step is taking place
a large pot of hot water, oil, salt, pepper and pieces of bacon are starting to boil. Christmas Collards are placed in the water. They cook about 45 minutes.
I realize collards are an acquired taste and many don't like the lovely aroma they put off when cooking. I was raised on them. Their aroma tickles my nose and makes me happy
and my mouth water.
Please feel free to cut and paste my card

ReplyDeleteWell, you sure were ahead of the culinary curve, for nowadays "Cavalo Nero" is the in thing and costs the length of the table! YAM xx
Hmmm. we we're not sure about the collard greens but things always taste better with bacon!
ReplyDeleteNow that is one thing that I have never cooked.
ReplyDeleteNever had 'em! But, hey...at 65 I hadn't first taste of hominy grits and loved it.

DeleteThis is exactly how my mother cooked hers and they were always absolutely delicious and I was raised on collard greens turnip greens mustard greens and collards were my favorite and still are. Bob had never eaten collards until he married me and we went to visit my parents and she made collards like this and he fell in love with. He loves collard greens now
ReplyDeleteWe hear about them all the time, but have never had them. Mom is quite picky, so they wouldn't be for her but you enjoy. It's fun to have foods that bring you good memories.
ReplyDeletemy garden collards are getting a thorough washing since yesterday. It's still raining. If I don't sink to my knees I'm going to pick some tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love collard greens and I was raised on them too. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Love and hugs, my friend. ♥
I have never had collard greens. As a rule I find very dark greens too bitter so probably wouldn't like them.
ReplyDeleteLike a few have mentioned, I have never had collard greens. If somebody cooked them, I wouldn't turn down giving them a try... ya never know! They sure look pretty and green up there with your festive and merry border! 5 more sleeps till Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCollard Greens are one of the super super good foods for humans. We cats on the other hand don't think we can eat them. Mom is going to try making them and thanks you for the recipe. We will let you know if our mouths watered from the smell. Purrs and Merry Christmas from The Ts.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your collards were delicious! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe've never tried collard greens but we're sure we would like them if you cooked them for us. Yum!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, good eats at your place. Cool.
ReplyDeleteYum, we have collards for Christmas and New Years Day, they are so good!
ReplyDeleteWe use a smoked turkey leg and some onions and a few red pepper flakes to cook collard greens in. I hope to make some at New Year along with some BBQ ribs. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have to take your word on the collards. I've eaten loads of different things from around the world but I've never had the opportunity to try collards. They sound delishious!
ReplyDeleteMust be like cabbage. I love the smell, but most don't. XO
ReplyDeleteMy Dad used to make them, and Kale too...and turnip greens. We kids never were too wild about them but, we were made to eat them.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy. Greens have a bad reputation but they can be good too.
