Collard Greens

I left work early and came home to cook some collards. I bought the family pack from Walmart which contains enough collards for four people. They are already chopped and destemed. Is that a word?. I added chicken broth, onions, garlic, jalapeno's, ham and bacon and cajun spices. I cooked for four hours and they were still tough.

I guess it is something I did, but dadgum if I know what.

I also made some Tennessee Fried Cornbread and did some yams with orange marmalade and pineapple and made some strong sweet tea.

I wonder if the collard greens I bought were faulty or was it me? I don't know and maybe you do.
