Wilted Beet Greens in Bacon Vinaigrette

Not everyone in our family likes cooked greens.  For those of us who do, this was a good enough recipe that we ate it all up, so no photos; although wilted greens are really not that photogenic anyway.

Ingredients:
3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 radishes, sliced
4 cups chopped beet greens, (rinse well and dry before chopping)
1 tablespoon sugar, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Cook bacon until bits are crispy.  Add onion, garlic and radishes, cook over medium heat just until tender.  Add beet greens, sugar water and vinegar.  Cook, slightly stirring, until greens are tender -- once the greens are added it will only take about 5 minutes for them to become tender enough.  Don't let them overcook and get mushy.  Serves 4.
