Turnip Greens

2 large bunches of fresh turnip greens
2 cups water
pepper to taste
1/4 pound fatback, bacon, or fatty ham scraps

This recipe also works for mustard greens, collard greens, or any mix of the three greens.

Wash and destem the turnip greens, rinsing thoroughly to remove all sand and dirt. Place in a large pot with water and pepper and fatback/bacon/fatty ham scraps. Bring to a boil (if you don't have a steam-releasing lid, be sure to tilt lid on top of pot to let the steam escape.), and simmer until greens are tender, adding water as necessary to keep them from drying out. The longer they cook, the better they get.
