I love to cook with cane syrup. It is the perfect sweetner for almost any dish. Here's one that's great for any table.
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 ounces country ham, chopped
1 1/2 cups sliced white onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
12 ounces dark beer
2 pounds chopped stemmed collard greens
32 ounces chicken stock
1/4 cup cane syrup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
In a large stockpot, heat oil over medium heat. Add ham, and cook until crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, salt, red pepper; cook until onion is softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add beer, and stir, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Increase heat to high, add greens and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until greens are tender, about 45 minutes.
Stir cane syrup and vinegar into greens mixture. Cook until iquid is reduced by half, 20 to 30 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
