Steps:
- Remove Stems from green and discard In a large pot over medium heat, add bacon, onion, and garlic. Render bacon until crisp and onion is tender. About 6 minutes Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, broth, and bourbon. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir in collard green in batches. Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2hours until tender and soft.
Tips:
- Choose the right bacon: For the best results, use thick-cut bacon. This will help the bacon to stay crispy and not overcook.
- Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Cook the bacon until it's crispy, but not burnt. This will help to bring out the flavor of the bacon.
- Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the collard greens. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat.
- Don't overcook the collard greens: Collard greens are best when they're cooked until they're tender, but not mushy. Overcooking them will make them tough and bitter.
- Serve the collard greens hot: Collard greens are best served hot, so make sure to reheat them before serving if you're making them ahead of time.
