    Your term is “liquid gold”……the old folks in my fam called it “pot liquor”‼️ But yessssss, I love to freeze that broth and have it on hand when it gets really cold outside here in STL. Makes you feel brand new‼️ Brooooooo, you make me wanna get up and make some collard greeeeeeens‼️ OMG this looks so gooooood‼️💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😳😳😳😳😳

  • @PennyWarnerPSongstress
    @PennyWarnerPSongstress Před 2 lety +10

    One thing I do is take those stems and chop them into small inch size pieces and put them in the pot at the beginning with all the other veggies. They will cook longer, release more flavor, and less waste! Lots of nutrients! And yes, that liquid gold AKA Pot Liquor is the BUSINESS! Any really good collard greens will have the BOMB Pot Liquor! All in All, this was a Fantastic recipe!

    Looking good!!! 👍 My husband and I love greens: collard, mustard, turnip, even kale and spinach!!! He has to have cornbread to sop up the pot liquor! 😆 Thanks for the recipe! 😋 I use smoked ham hocks most of the time, but smoked turkey works just as well. Also, when I wash my greens, I lift them from the water, so all the dirt and residue is left floating in the bottom. Then I pour out the dirty water and rinse again. I do that about 3 or 4 times, until the water is clear.
