Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Rinse all dirt off of peanuts inside of sink and drain.
  2. Place peanuts inside a large pot that leaves about 4 to 6 inches of room at the top of the pot.
  3. Cover peanuts with water leaving until the peanuts float to within 2 inches from the top of the pot.
  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. 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. Allow peanuts to absorb brine untill desired salty taste. About 1 hour +or -.
