No, not the rock group. Who will be cooking black-eyed peas and collard greens for New Year's? And what tricks do y'all have to get the bitterness out of collards?

Maybe I should have posted this in QQ. Anyway, it's supposed to be good luck to eat them on New Year's.

Yes, I know it is a Southern tradition. I love collard greens. Used to go to the cafeterias in North Carolina like Morrisons and Piccadily where they made great collards

I boil them, pour off the water, and then reboil to get rid of the bitterness--plus add sugar. Some people add apple slices. I heard today for the first time that adding a few whole pecans (in the shell) will also work. And freezing them first.

Yummy!
Love them both!
I love Collards raw, steamed, boiled, any way!
I have found that if not cooked with smoked ham,
add a bit of olive oil to cut the bitterness.
Also used young leaves or canned.
