My grandma Ollie-Belle made the best braised collard greens. This recipe is as close to hers as I could come. The pot-liquor is the key to great greens. Serve with fresh green onions and black-eyed peas with rice.

2 pounds fresh ham hocks
8 ounces salt pork
1 cup chopped onion
2 bays leaves
2 tablespoons white sugar

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
