Make Skillet Cornbread to soak up the tasty "pot likker." Ingredients 1 smoked ham hock (about ¼ pound) 3 pounds (about 4 bunches) collard greens, stalks removed, leaves cut into 1-inch pieces 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar Coarse salt and ground pepper Hot sauce, for serving (optional) Directions In a large pot, combine ham hock, collard greens, and 8 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until collards are very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove ham hock, and discard. Add vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Serve collards with their broth, and, if desired, hot sauce. Print
