Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Lb Peanuts (raw, not dried) 2# approx
  • 3 Qt Water
  • ΒΌ Cup Salt (more or less depending on taste)

Instructions

  • Wash peanuts. Raw or "green" peanuts are moist to touch, and only available in most places in the fall. Peanuts used for boiling have never been dried or roasted. Place washed peanuts in crockpot. I used a liner but it's not necessary.
  • Cover with about 3 quarts of water. Cover and cook overnight. When the peanuts are cooked, the water will be brownish and peanuts will contain some water, this is normal. Add more salt if needed.
    Drain, eat while hot, or store in plastic bags in the frig. They can also be stored in the freezer. If stored in freezer, thaw in the refrigerator.
