Mixed Greens With Turnips & Tasso

• 10 ounces fresh collard greens
• 10 ounces fresh mustard greens
• 10 ounces fresh turnip greens
• 2 medium onions, halved lengthwise, sliced
• 3 medium turnips, halved lengthwise, sliced
• 3/4 lb tasso or 3/4 lb smoked ham, cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup picante sauce
• 1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)

1. Place all greens in sink or a large pot; fill to brim with lukewarm water. Let greens stand 15 minutes.
2. Carefully remove greens from water without disturbing sandy-silt which has settled to the bottom. Wash leaves under running water; tear leaves into small pieces, removing tough ribs.
3. Place torn greens, onions, turnips, and tasso or ham in a 10- to 12-quart soup pot; fill to top with water. Add sugar, picante sauce, salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil 5 minutes. Reduce heat. Barely simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 hours. Taste for seasoning; adjust if necessary. Greens should have lots of liquid left; add more water if necessary. Serve hot.
