Test Kitchen tips

Sugar is added to many recipes for turnip greens to offset their somewhat bitter flavor.

Substitute Swiss chard for the turnip greens if you prefer.

Directions

1
In a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker, combine all ingredients. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

2
If using ham hocks, remove meat from bones when cool enough to handle; cut ham into small pieces and return to pressure cooker. Serve greens with a slotted spoon.
