Boiled Peanuts Recipe

Ingredients

* 3/4 cup salt
* Lots of Peanuts (no idea)
* 3 1/2 quart crock pot
* Water

Directions

Now down in Ga. where I come we truely love grits....BUT (did I say that loud enough?) Our true love is the Boiled P-nut. Now most yankees will look at you in disgust or maybe even try one and spit it out squealing that "its WET" well duuuuh. It IS BOILED.

Anyway, the recipe:

Fill a 3 1/2 qt crock pot with raw peanuts and put about 3/4 a cup of salt in there then fill with water. Put the top on and cook at least 18 hours. Then enjoy P-nut bliss.

Now if your a yankee eating them for the first time try just cooking them over night. The p-nut is SUPPOSED to be mushy but some people like them a little crunchy. True Boiled p-nut lovers must get theirs from a pot at a roadside stand thats been cooking god knows how long, and usually on a trip to the sunny beaches of Florida.
