For Greens: In a large pot, heat drippings over med-high heat. Add onion and jalapeno pepper. Fry until onion is soft.
Add meat and enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 1 hour.
Add remaining ingredients and cook 45 minutes more. Check often and add water as needed to prevent scorching. Simmer an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until greens are tender.
For Dumplings: Place cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; mix into cornmeal. Beat eggs and combine with cornmeal mixture. Add milk and drippings.
Using a large spoon, drop the batter onto greens. Cover tightly and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until done.
