LIKKER
Place a 1/2 lb piece of salt port into 3 quarts of cold water and boil for 45 minutes. Wash and clean thoroughly some young turnip greens , place them in the pot with the salt pork and boil slowly for another hour. Drain the water from the pork and greens; chop the greens finely and season with salt and pepper. Place the greens in a hot dish and decorate with slices of salt pork. Pour over the meat and greens about 1 1/2 cups of the liquid in which the greens were cooked (Pot Likker). If preferred, cornmeal dodgers may be served with the dish and placed around the greens.
