Hi Christy, I still have Georgia collards in the garden that I planted last year and have harvested all year long. Love my collards. I added some smoked beef sausage and potatoes to a batch of collards and that was a meal by itself. Delicious. I also freeze batches of cooked collards in gallon bags for future use. I will try the cider vinegar . Thanks.

It tenderizes and adds a bit of flavor. Let me know how you like them! I ate two bowls last night, lol!

I have cooked collards for a long time but never heard of adding vinegar. Must try. I add peanut oil and ham or bacon or whatever I have. My Mother told me to add about 1/8 t. of baking soda. That would make the seasoning cook into the collards and help make them tender. I also cook in pressure cooker for about 30 minutes. Much faster that way. May try your way tomorrow. Thanks.

Happy New Year to you and your family. I got my collards from Publix already chopped.

My Daddy always kept a jar of vinegar with hot peppers in it and as he used the vinegar he would add more to the jar. He would put this on greens and in a bowl of vegetable soup. Really perks up the taste.

Oh, Mama always said that the greens represented your “folding money” for the new year and the peas represented the “loose coins”. Wonder how the coins got loose?

My daddy says you need to finely chop up some of the collard “ribs” and add t the pot while cooking. Chopping them finely keeps then from being fibrous and he “swears” (which he seldom does) that it adds a delicious sweetness to the collards. He’s 87 years old so I listen to what he says!
