This is an old Southern-style recipe for country greens that my grandma used to make at all our holiday meals. Turnip greens and mustard greens are cooked with bacon and dill pickle juice for an added kick.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the mustard and turnip greens thoroughly to remove gritty dirt, and place in a 12 quart pot with 8 cups of water. Add the butter, pickle juice, bacon and onion, and bring to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Continue cooking at a full boil for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, until tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
