6 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs raw peanuts, still inside the shell
  • 10 ounces salt
  • water

Directions

  1. 1
    Rinse all dirt off of peanuts inside of sink and drain.
  2. 2
    Place peanuts inside a large pot that leaves about 4 to 6 inches of room at the top of the pot.
  3. 3
    Cover peanuts with water leaving until the peanuts float to within 2 inches from the top of the pot.
  4. 4
    Add salt. A good hint is that all the salt you add will not be directly absorbed by the peanuts. So you can be generous.
  5. 5
    Bring to a rigorous boil and continue until soft. The time to boil depends on the peanuts and I think it is best done outside.
  6. 6
    Allow peanuts to absorb brine untill desired salty taste. About 1 hour +or -.
