@BeauDifulDiZaster yes smoked turkey tails. They taste as close to a smoked pork ham hock to me. They are usually in the same Dept. as the other smoked meats.
Thank you for taking the rib Off of the collard greens. I cannot stand it when I get chunks of stalk in my greens. And when everything is done that pearl made at the end of those hocks is the best thing ever. I’m so hungry right now. LOL I always make sure I get fresh collard greens that have been picked after the first frost so they are not bitter I love the way that you cook. Down home
I also use fried chicken grease to cook my greens, along with smoked turkey legs. I also add kale with my greens. Collards, mustard, turnips and kale. Good for you and you can't tell the difference. I add sugar too. That's the way we grew up. Except my folks didn't add kale, that's my doing.
You're just missing the HOT WATER CORNBREAD(North Louisiana/South Arkansasthing😄)...only bread I want with my greens. And I have to chop up my greens before placing in the pot. Everything else looks absolutely delicious!! Legit old school.
I love you. I just want to say thank you . I usually follow Gordon Ramsay but I need a black icon, to follow. I'm a good cook myself but you can always teach an old dog new tricks..
Here in 2023 cooking my first FULL Thanksgiving for me and my family. Love this recipe I can’t wait to put my own little twist on it. Happy Holidays everyone 🦃 🍴 ❤️
Yeah, I made a couple of batches of collard greens with ham hocks, with an emphasis on the ham hocks. Probably enjoyed them too much. You get your own balance of red pepper, vinegar, or even some Tabasco and chicken broth. A final note, I went on Amazon and ordered some psyllium husk powder to mix into my smoothies just to keep me honest. :)
I just finished making this recipe with a few little differences here and there. I would also like to say this is the first time I’ve made Collards Green. I’ve just finished my second bowl of delicious goodness. Thanks for the great video and delicious meal.
ONLY video I found with how you cook collards, the ole fashioned way! The only way! The right way! I love it! Cornbread with collards, all I need is some Texas Pete and pour me a little Bragg's on my collards and I'll hurt myself!!!! Thanks for the memories!!
I just love Chef Jeffery. When he said “pot liquor” it took me way back.., I fondly remember my grandpa saying that when my grandma cooked 🥬, he always wanted a good portion of that pit liquor. ❤️❤️❤️
@@davidbetsey2437 Evidently you didn’t read my entire comment. In the first paragraph it was correctly spelled….a slip of the finger in the last part of the comment, it happens to the best of us. All the INTELLIGENT readers understood!! I guess you wet yourself with glee PROFESSOR SPELL CHECKER. Smh&lol
Yum! I pull out the collard stems, but I actually like the taste of them, them so I chop them up and put them in the liquor before the leaves so they can get nice and tender! Now I want a mess of collards!
Another winner, Chef Jeff! I made this a couple nights ago, but my little grocery store didn't have any ham hocks, so I used pork neck bones, and it turned out fantastic! Just like your mom, I always add some vinegar to my greens. My understanding for using baking soda is so the greens will retain their bright green color. I don't think it's for texture. But maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for another great tutorial!
Oh, how I as taught! Saw a cook, can’t call a chef, who cooked the ham hocks, took them out and then cooked the collards in store bought chicken broth. Crime. Thanks!
I didn’t know about the sugar and vinegar but everything else is just how I do. I tear my greens smaller but that’s it!! I will try the sugar and vinegar next time. Thank you very much!! I love to learn more and more
Collards are a superfood. I pretty much make mine like you did but add a pinch of red pepper flakes. I got hamhocks in the fridge just have to pick up some collards. TY for sharing.
Chef Jeff I noticed you didn't cut your greens up like most is there a particular reason you don't you may have said it in vid but I must have missed it?
Yes indeed, my grandpa loved that "pot liquor" from the greens over this cornbread and then some hot pepper sauce...onions from the garden with another slice of cornbread...I still to this day love this stuff. THANK YOU for this OLD SCHOOL (SOUL) recipe. Perfect, (but my grandma did add a tablespoon of sugar.)
❤️❤️❤️ Peace and blessings, Chef Jeff! There is nothing like cooking on a gas stove in cast iron. 🔥. Thank you for the video.....On my way to meat store. 😂😂😂
I watch your channel everyday. Used your honey glazed ham recipe tonight for my Thanksgiving dinner on tomorrow. Thank you so much for these old school recipes. Your Mac n cheese is the way that I've always cooked it. My grandmother and mother always cut their collards, and so do I. This was my first time seeing someone cook collards whole leaves. Looks great though. Thank you agsin for sharing.
And today!! They were fire!! I've never heard the term "pot liquor" I will use that term for now on!! Thank you!! My cooking is so much better. I don't like to cook, but your way is so easy and 🔥!!! I also fixed my Thanks Giving dinner following your recipes!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!!
Hi chef!! I fixed collard greens following your instructions. this is the second time in my life fixing greens. The first time had to have been over 20+ years ago
It’s cheaper to buy a knife sharpener then a keep buying. Unless they are gifts and you know CARING is sharing so don’t keep them all to yourself brother man ✌🏾✌🏾
Greetings Chef Jeff, I am new to your channel and I am so glad to have found your delicious down-home cooking. Sometimes I want to change up my recipes a bit so I am looking forward to preparing meals as you do. Please help me, my stainless steel pots and glass lids have gotten brown stains on them, how can I easily remove these stains? Baking soda helped, but I want the pots to shine again lol. I would appreciate any tips you can offer. Thank you and may the good LORD continue to provide resources to you to feed families.
I tried to get the smoked ham hocks yesterday, but will be in on Monday. So making soup tomorrow! I see I'm going to add ham hocks and collard greens to my list! Always save my bacon grease and going into find your pepper sauce now! Thanks 🙂
My mom & I went to pick collards only to find they had been picked out so we picked young broccoli leaves they cooked up almost the same way but had a better taste
Straight up I’m 15 seconds into the video debating whether to watch it because of the canned garlic. Pre-chopped, non-organic garlic is pretty much grown in sewer water.
I just found you yesterday Chef Jeffrey, I am so happy I found y iu. I've been looking for a chef that cooks scratch like my mom and I. I've been looking for sweet potatoe pie and collards recipes. Thank you so much!! I really enjoy your channel.
Thank you so much Oh my goodness how am I just now coming across this video uncle chef Jeffrey!! My mother used to call me the color green Queen lol years ago when I was a teenager my first boyfriend‘s mother was from South Carolina she taught me how to clean collard greens properly! Ever since then but my mom will get fresh collard greens she will give them all to me and have me clean them with cold water and baking soda to get all the dirt and sand and grit and I will clean them three times! Then take the rib out roll them up like a cigar and cut them right into the pot! Chop and drop lol thank you so much for this amazing video that Potlicker is gold gold gold! Much love to the entire old school soul food family wherever you may be in the world! Loving on you from Philly!!! ✨💃🏽🙌🏼💜💜
Good evening from St. Louis mo. You cook exactly like my grandfather used too. I love the content bro. We ate cornbread with every meal as a kid. Watching your videos brings back memories. Salute 🫡
I have the same exact pot simmering away right now but with boneless jowls. I quit using bones after breaking a molar...ouch !! Anyway today is collards day and tomorrow is pinto bean day day. I'm going to vacuum pack both for Thanksgiving.
Do you know how to make blackened catfish? Would love to see a recipe on that. Used to have fish for breakfast when we went camping as a kid. The men would go fishing early and come back in time for breakfast. They caught mostly catfish, or sometimes called mudpout. We would simply dip it into flour and fry it to have with breakfast. I tried blackened catfish at a restaurant as and adult, and I loved it.
I made your collard recipe for the first time tonight and let me tell you it didn’t disappoint along with your pepper sauce recipe I made earlier this year I ate until I was almost sick lol
Thank U! I love them, but I AM New to cooking them myself. I always let my family cook them or buy them from a Soul food house.😊😊😊 But, now I know how to do it.❤️❤️❤️
Lawd ,now you done touched my heart with this meal ..Pot liquor ,Oh HELL yes !! 1st my fave COLLARD 'S 2nd HAM HOCK' S ...need not say you made my Favorite meal .I could eat this all the time .in fact when I see a good batch of Collards in my store I will buy .My children fight over the pot .You do yours exactly like me ..God Bless You ,Chef ..Be safe,Be Blessed ,Be Loved .....if only you had Smell a vision people would be coming over to Chef Jeff home ..😄😊😉
Thank you for sharing I gone through some others one and you show me how to cook them without being scared of doing something wrong thank you so much now am going to put my big panty on and cook me some ☺️
Sometimes I use smoked turkey tails when I make collard greens. A good substitute for those who don't eat pork.
Those are the folks who dont know how to eat, period.
@@davidbetsey2437 there are more than one way to eat greens. How they are prepared is cook's choice..
I use both, and both ways are delicious.
I’m going to use turkey 🦃 necks in mine 🥰😋
Tail?
@BeauDifulDiZaster yes smoked turkey tails. They taste as close to a smoked pork ham hock to me. They are usually in the same Dept. as the other smoked meats.
Oh buddy ....let's eat!!!!
Hope you enjoy

Pot liquor, not pit liquor. I'm not so sure about u, Sis.

I use smoked Turkey legs also. Turns out very good.
Chef, I notice, you do not cut your greens up!!
I love to chew on the whole hamhock!!
That looks so delicious nothing like that pot liquor🙏
It is
Not a single restaurant has this on their menu. So I’m gonna have to use this recipe. My mouth’s watering already. Hope i don’t fail myself. 👏🏽
Yum! But the recipe says 1 C vinegar. Looks like you added a couple tablespoon?

I actually prefer neckbones over ham hocks. They’re not as greasy, and the meat pulls apart better.
Can I substitute apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar if that's all I have on hand
Very little
@@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD "very little?" Im sorry...i dont understand.
Don’t use too much. It’s much stronger than white vinegar
So far the best collard greens recipe I’ve found on RUclips. Btw thanks for not adding garlic powder, onion powder, or chicken base.
Hope you enjoy
Oh, how I as taught! Saw a cook, can’t call a chef, who cooked the ham hocks, took them out and then cooked the collards in store bought chicken broth. Crime. Thanks!
Hello old school I made 2 of your recipe today collard greens and oxtails the best ever Thanks a million your recipes are the Best 🌷👍😃🎂🎉🎁🎈
Thank you, Chef! This is my first time making Thanksgiving dinner and I am so excited to have true soul food on my table. I appreciate you!
I'm trying to figure out how to make old school gravy
I didn’t know about the sugar and vinegar but everything else is just how I do. I tear my greens smaller but that’s it!! I will try the sugar and vinegar next time. Thank you very much!! I love to learn more and more

Collard greens and ham hocks look delicious. Definitely need the cornbread on the side. ❤❤
Oh yes!
The collards steams are very nutritious, just cut them up fine and cook with the greens.

I notice in the written recipe, you have 1 cup of vinegar, but the video doesn't show you using a cup of vinegar. Is that a typo?
Thank you, cant wait to try, yes to pot liquer..cant wait..love ur accent!!!❤
Can,t go wrong with ham hocks and collard greens country style USA love them
I always leave a little stem on my greens that’s nutrients,,
To each his/her own
Oooooweee i cannot wait to eat !! Thank you for sharing your techniques and recipe. Happy Holiday's

Sounds great!
I had collards cooked with cabbage at Christmas & they were delicious, we always did turnips & mustards.
My mom & I went to pick collards only to find they had been picked out so we picked young broccoli leaves they cooked up almost the same way but had a better taste
Straight up I’m 15 seconds into the video debating whether to watch it because of the canned garlic. Pre-chopped, non-organic garlic is pretty much grown in sewer water.
I love sewage water
Have a great day
You're right it doesn't get any better than collard greens with cornbread and pepper sauce and hot sauce . "YUMMY to your TUMMY"
And he didn’t add butter too, is what’s up
I don’t need all that Fat in my foods*
I don't know it seems like I have to cook my collars longer sometimes because they be tough
Didnt u hear the man say add white vinegar to make them tender. Get the matter out ur eyes & the wax out ur ears.
Uncle Jeff done told you now.. About a table spoon of white vinegar 😁😁😁 I think 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gotta get the wax outta my ears too!😂😂😂😂😂🥰
The vinegar
It looks like more hocks than greens...just the way I like it😋
Never seen it done that way,I cut mines up..And I add apple cider vinegar.
I just recently came by your channel and I am a subscriber and a fan. We would definitely get along in the kitchen. Love your channel✌🏽🙏🏽
I just found you yesterday Chef Jeffrey, I am so happy I found y iu. I've been looking for a chef that cooks scratch like my mom and I. I've been looking for sweet potatoe pie and collards recipes. Thank you so much!! I really enjoy your channel.
I always use pickle juice to add to greens when vinegar isn't around.👍👍👍
Sounds great!
You didn’t cut the greens up .. look so good 😊
Thats where we part company, u must cut up ur greens. BTW, if that was four bunches, u better go back & get the other three bunches or ur money back.
Can you cook these a day before you need them
Yes... And they will taste even better the next day....the seasonings will sit in....enjoy 😀
I just started watching you today and have already joined
Welcome to the family
Only thing missing Chef is the tomatoes and a pepsi and the couch for napping 😅

I’m using ham hocks and a ham bone. Should be delicious.
Just saw your videos. LOVE. Takes me back to watching my mom, grandma and aunts cook. I love that southern old-school vibe. And those greens. YUM
I like everything but i have to shred my greens don't like them big
You don't cut yours up at all?
I have the same exact pot simmering away right now but with boneless jowls. I quit using bones after breaking a molar...ouch !! Anyway today is collards day and tomorrow is pinto bean day day. I'm going to vacuum pack both for Thanksgiving.

Making my collard greens tomorrow. I'm using smoked neck bones because the store didn't have ham hocks. Thanks for sharing!
I cut my greens never seen anyone cooked them whole
Have you ever did ham hocks in the smoker or on the grill?
My goodness! Hooked on your channel!
Welcome aboard!
I use smoke turkey necks vs ham hocks now due to blood pressure issues but I get the same results...love ya Chef!
