nepas posting them cans of Boiled Peanuts has got me in a habit of eating about 4 to 5 cans a week.
These are not Green Peanuts, but they are dryed Raw Peanuts.

Instructions say cover with water and add 1 cup of salt for 5 lbs of peanuts. At the Three hour mark
start testing the nuts for doneness and saltyness. Almost there.

This was 2lbs and I added 1/2 cup of salt.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-IIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
I want some!
They are getting mighty happy in that salty boiling water.
Just tested two and they are close to the texture I like.
I also found out you can boil up a bunch and freeze them.
They keep about 5 days in the fridge.

CRG how big is that pot?
I believe it is a 10 to 12 qt. But I will check when I wash it.
Danged ole peanuts are taking longer than a stubborn Bst Butt.
MMMMMMMMM
Boiled peanuts
Boiled peanuts do take a long time and a lot of salt. When I do them, I get out my old propane burner and the largest pot that I have (larger than the one I use for turkey frying) and do a large batch. I then freeze what I do not eat that day. I pig out on these so I do not want anymore the rest of that week and possibly not even the rest of that month. Since we have vendors in the area, I rarely do them myself because of the time and cost factors.
Are they done yet? Are they done yet?

Do you know how long it takes to smoke a butt?
It just about took the same amount of time. Close to 8 hrs.
My wife says I won't be doing that again in the House.
But the Peanuts came out good. I might have just a tad
too much salt for other people but I like it.

Texas?
Are you sure don't live in a (wheel-less) school bus somewhere on 41-A with a fireworks stand out front and a junkyard out back?
Those look too "professional"!!!
When I lived in Florida - was the first time I had ever tried these. I love Boiled Peanuts!
Well have to give this a try...
I'll try them again, but outside with propane turkey fryer.
I made a mess in the kitchen and Momma wasn't happy.
