ya gonna need a huge stock pot

soak them beans overnight

in the morning you gotta drain the water off

put all your beans back in the stock pot n add your ham

completely cover the beans in water

mix the flower salt and pepper in a cup of water mix well and add to beans

cook over medium low heat

add water as necessary

cooking slow to keep them tender.

I usually cook mine for about 7 hours adding water very regularly

that's gonna take all day
