Sit greens in sink filled with cold water to rinse off any dirt.

Cut each strip if bacon into 4 pieces. Cook in Dutch oven pot until crispy. Remove bacon and add greens. Fill pot with water until just covering the greens.

Cover pot. After about 30 mins add salt, sugar, pepper and let boil, covered for an hour. Continue to stir about every 30 minutes until finished. Add pinch of red pepper at end. Add salt/ sugar and pepper to your liking.
