* (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 til 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."
