This is THE best Southern Collard Greens recipe, hands down! How can I say that? Well, because it’s my Mississippi mama’s recipe, and if there is one thing she prides herself on (besides pound cakes, of course) it’s her collard greens. Basically, she picks fresh collard greens then lets them gently simmer, getting all tender and cozy in a hearty, delicious pot likker. And this ain’t just any pot likker, it is PACKED with the rich flavors of smoky ham hock and onions, seasoned just right. Her collard greens recipe has hundreds of five star reviews, and once you try it, you won’t try another recipe guaranteed. Sure, there’s more than one way to whip them up, but down here, my mama and I swear by this method. Low, slow, and with a whole lotta love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the best recipe I have found! Perfect blend of heat, sweet and spice. Family can\u2019t get enough. The pot likker is downright drinkable!<\/em> <\/strong>– Ellie<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Collard Greens recipe is a tribute to not only my childhood but to almost every other Southerner. I’ve watched the hands that groomed and raised me make collard greens for decades, and the entire process was always so magical. That’s exactly why I included my Big Mama (my Mississippi grandmother’s) and my mama’s hands in this post showing you how to make them too. The heritage and love associated with making greens for your family is something that can never be replaced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just love our greens, whether they be turnip greens<\/a>, mustard greens<\/a>, or collard. Just about every Southerner has a personal favorite and with such unique, individual flavors, I don\u2019t blame them. This is true Southern cooking at its finest! But in my opinion, traditional Southern collard greens are the most popular greens in the South. Give ’em a try and you’ll see what I’m talking about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
