  Saute bacon and onion together.
  
  Slice collard stems thin and add to pot. Stir over high heat until
  wilted. Add garlic, tomato, thyme, pepper, pepper pod, vinegar,
  sugar, and wine. Cook over high heat for awhile. Chop and add the
  collard leaves. Reduce heat to low and add ham scraps and water to
  cover. Cook for an arbitrarily long time. Taste for seasoning. Add
  salt to taste.
  
  Drain off the liquid and serve it ("pot liquor") as soup, with a
  side of cornbread. Use the greens as a vegetable.
