I didn't make the honey mustard sauce. Because I didn't know what time my husband would be home for supper, I decided not to boil the greens ahead, but I added them to the bacon onion cider mixture with about 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and let it simmer on low for quite a while. Absolutely delicious! The bacon and apple cider really compliment each other.

Very tasty. Especially, the honey mustard. In fact, without the honey mustard these greens would have been just average. I used kale instead of collards and I didn't have any ACV on hand so that was omitted. I don't know if the ACV would have been the thing to elevate these greens or not. I really tasted the absence of some sort of stock--veggie or chicken based--to cook the greens in. I gave this 3 stars instead of 4 because the boiling then sauteing of the greens seemed like more work than really needed. Again, it was tasty and I'd definitely make these again. Also, I highly recommend these greens served over a small amount of lightly salted grits or polenta. It sounds odd but it was divine! Just a more liquid form of cornbread...
