It Ain't Easy Eating Greens

For those of you who follow my wife's blog, you know we took delivery of our first bin from Farm Fresh Delivery this past week. Basically a bin of random produce. So while there were some typical things we knew what to do with (cherries, green pepper, pluots, etc.), there were a couple of things that neither of us had ever prepared before. Namely, Collard Greens, and Kale.

Today, we experimented with the Collard Greens. Here is our recipe:

1 large onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
8 oz diced ham
3/4 cup vinegar
3 cups water
1/2 cup splenda (or sweetener of your choice)

Mix everything in the crock-pot, and cook on low for 6 hours.

note: we left out the jalapeno, only because Samuel reacts badly to nursing after Cathy consumes hot peppers.

It turned out pretty good -- not necessisarily mouth-wateringly delicious, but it was pleasantly edible.
