In what the internet would term “Black Folks Collard Greens”, pot likker (or pot liquor) is the broth that becomes infused with the flavors in this recipe like fresh onions, garlic, and that smokey, salty ham hock. Nothing else tastes quite like the highly concentrated, full flavored pot likker. I swear, you could drink it by the glass full! Lots of people use this pot likker to flavor other recipes or even make soups.
