How to Make Boat House Collard Greens

2. Place the chopped collard greens in a large pot or Dutch oven.
3. Add 8 cups of water to the pot.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 hour.
5. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 2 tablespoons whiskey, and 1 (1-pound) smoked ham hock to the pot.
6. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for another hour.
