Ingredients

• 2 lb dried raw peanuts
• ½ to 2/3 cup salt

Preparation

Step 1

1)Soak peanuts in water to cover in a large stock pot at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. (You may need to weigh down peanuts with a large plate or lid to ensure that they are fully submerged.) Drain and rinse.

2)Place peanuts and desired amount of salt in stock pot with 4 ½ qt water; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 6 hours or until peanuts are tender, adding water as needed to keep peanuts covered; stir occasionally.
