Wilted Lettuce

I got this recipe here. My dad made the same recipe all the time; He said that his family ate it a lot during lean times, and that his mom would just "walk along the railroad tracks and come home with dinner", i.e. dandelion greens, wild lettuce...


* 1 large bowl of fresh clean garden picked lettuce pieces
* 8 slices of bacon fried and crumbled. {more if you like}
* 1 small onion diced small
* 3 tablespoons vinegar
* 2 tablespoons water
* 2 teaspoons sugar


Break lettuces into a large bowl and salt and pepper. Add remaining ingredients to bacon fat in frying pan. {use not more than 4 tablespoons of the bacon fat} Bring this to a boil stirring constantly, pour over the lettuce, toss lightly with salad fork and spoon until the lettuce is wilted.
