2 pounds tender mustard greens
1 ham hock or 1/3 pound salt pork

Wash the mustard greens in several changes of water. If there are tough stems, break them off and discard. Place the greens in a kettle and add the ham hock or salt pork. Add the onion, water, and salt. There should be enough water barely to cover the greens. Bring to a boil and simmer 2 hours. When ready to serve, drain and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
