I have fond memories of traveling with my mom and dad. A roadtrip didn't go by without stopping at a roadside stand to buy warm boiled peanuts. These days I make them at home in the crockpot. I've even served them for an appetizer. Everyone just loved the special treat.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 hours, 00 minute
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 quarts green uncooked peanuts
- 1/2 cup salt*
- 2-1/2 quarts water
Preparation:
Wash peanuts until water runs clear. Put nuts in crockpot. Add salt and water. Stir well. Cover and cook on high for 5 to 7 hours. If necessary, add additional water to keep peanuts covered.
*The peanuts will get saltier the longer they sit in their cooking liquid. In fact, I store mine in the liquid in the refrigerator. We love to eat them hot or cold.
