    Aunt Saunny

    4 bacon slices, cut crosswise into strips
    vegetable oil
    1 pork loin chop with bone
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 bunch (3 to 4 pounds) turnip greens with roots(turnips)
    2 quarts water
    dash of pepper
    1 cup cornmeal
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups boiling water
    1 egg, beaten
    about 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

    Fry bacon and pork chop in a large saute pan over medium heat until crisp.
    Remove with slotted spoon and set aside. If necessary, add enough oil to bacon drippings to make 2 tablespoons. Add onion and garlic; saute until softened. Remove onion and garlic; combine with bacon and set aside. Check leaves of turnips carefully; remove pulpy stems and discolored spots on leaves. Wash turnip greens and roots thoroughly; drain well. Chop turnip leaves; peel roots and cut into quarters.

    Put greens, roots and pepper in Dutch oven; add water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer about 50 minutes or until greens and roots are tender. Stir in bacon mixture.

    Combine cornmeal, sugar and salt; mix well. Stir in boiling water. Add egg, and mix well. Drop cornmeal mixture by tablespoonfuls onto a floured board and roll in flour. Place dumplings over hot turnip greens, and cook over medium heat about 15 minutes.
