Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	480g / 16oz	Dried black beans
2		Ham hocks
1		Bell pepper - chopped
1		Onion - chopped (small)
1		Sour orange - =or=- tangerine
1 tablespoon	15ml	Vinegar *
1/2 cup	118ml	Oleo
2 tablespoons	30ml	Flour
		Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Instructions

* (if you used a sweet orange or tangerine) Put your beans in a soup pot and cover with water.

Boil, take off the fire and let sit until cool. Cook onions and bell peppers in 1/2 the oleo until limp. Add them and the ham hocks and orange to the cooled beans; cover charitably with water.

Simmer until beans is soft (1 to 2 hours). Fish out the orange right now, before it gets tore up. With the rest of the oleo, brown the flour in a black frying pan, then stir it into the beans.

Brenda says: "Make sure you got a soup, now. If you need to add some more water, do it."
