Ingredients

4 bunches collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
1 pound ham shanks
4 pickled jalapeno peppers, chopped
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon olive oil
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, fill it about halfway with water. Add the ham shanks and as many collard greens as will fit. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once the greens begin to wilt, start transferring them to the slow cooker. Alternate layers of collard greens with the ham shanks and jalapenos until the slow cooker is full. Stir in the baking soda, olive oil, pepper, and garlic powder. Cover, bring to a boil on High, then reduce heat to Low and cook for 8 to 10 hours.
