SOUTHERN STYLE COUNTRY HAM

2 cups Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses
1 cup Heinz cider vinegar
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon peppercorns
3 cloves garlic, whole
whole cloves
juice from a large jar of sweet pickles
1/2 lb (about) Domino dark brown sugar

In a stockpot large enough to cover ham, cover ham with cold water!. Add half (1 cup) of the molasses and 1 cup of the vinegar!. Allow to stand in a cool place overnight!.

The next day, remove ham and pour off water; rinse well!.

Cover the ham with fresh cold water and add the remaining 1 cup of molasses, garlic cloves, bay leaves and a few whole cloves!.

On high heat, bring to a rolling boil and cover; reduce heat slightly and boil for another 30 minutes!. Turn off heat but do not remove cover!. Let stand in a cool place overnight!.

Remove ham from water!. Remove any rind!. Using a sharp knife score ham diagonally!. Push in whole cloves in an even pattern to decorate and add flavor!.

Mix brown sugar with pickle juice adding more sugar until a paste is formed!. Spread ham with the brown sugar paste!.

Bake in a preheated 300°F degree oven for about 60 minutes or until ham is nicely glazed (depends on size of ham)!.

COLLARD GREENS

3 smoked ham hocks
3-5 lbs collard greens, 2 lbs broccoli rabe, or mustard greens
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

Put ham hocks and garlic in a large soup pot and bring to a boil!. Reduce heat and simmer about 3 hours, replacing water as needed allowing water level to reduce a little as you go along!.

When ham hocks begin to fall apart, separate the collard green leaves and rinse each carefully under cold running water!.

Roll the leaves up and slice across into strips, or just rip the leaves from the stems and add to the pot - discard the heaviest stems, but don't be picky!. As the collards are added gradually to the pot and they begin to wilt down, continue to add until all are used!.

Season with the salt, then cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes more over medium heat until the greens are tender!.

Serve with hot sauce if desired, or a splash of balsamic vinegar, or drizzle with extra virgin olive oil!.

NOTE: If you are making a boiled ham or smoked shoulder, you can reserve the liquid and reduce it and then make the collard greens using this recipe once the ham is removed!.
