Turnip Greens

Wash greens in cold water to remove grit or any dirt.

In a large pot filled 3/4 full of water, add the bacon grease and salt. Bring to a boil.

Add the greens by the handful to the pot, letting them have a little time to start to cook down before adding more.

When pot is full, you will need to poke the greens down for a few minutes as they like to come to the top of the pot and run over.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the greens to take the bitterness out.

Cook at a boil until greens are tender, perhaps a half hour.

Drain well.

While greens are draining in the colander, cut them up using two knives.
