List of Ingredients



• 1 bunch fresh turnip greens (about 4 1/2 lbs)

• 3 quarts water
  
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  
• 2 tsps sugar (optional)
  






Instructions



1. Remove and discard stems and discolored spots from turnip greens. Wash greens thoroughly; drain and tear into pieces. Set aside.
   
2. Slice salt pork at 1/4-inch intervals, cutting to, but not through, the skin.
