Yummy and fun to eat. I hadn't had this treat since I lived in SC. I boiled mine for 2 hours. I had a hard time tracking down raw peanuts, but finally found them in an Indian market.

These peanuts are great. After moving from Florida to Ohio, my family had missed out on purchasing boiled peanuts from the roadside stands. Now, whenever I make these, my kids stand by the pot and can't wait to eat them.

I grew up a pnut farmer's daughter. I love them. I found a pressure cooker is GREAT for boiling peanuts. It only takes about 15 minutes of "jiggling" time. Then let it cool "without" water. this lets the salt get in the peanuts. I have just been cooking them this way a couple years and will never wait the 3 hours again. I use the salt ratio in this recipe and it works well. Remember the longer you let them sit in the salty water, the saltier they will become.

Great basic recipe to share a southern staple. You can spice it up however you want - I add Old Bay to mine. If you want to store them, you can actually just pop them into freezer bags and freeze them for quite some time. Just take them out and bring them up to temperature in a pot of boiling water and voila, ready to eat.

Very good. Only had 1 1/2 lbs. peanuts, 1/2 cup salt, 3 hrs. Perfect! Going to make again tomorrow with 5 lbs.

I made half the serving of the listed recipe, which required 1/2 cup of salt. I had to use more salt, probably a total of 3/4 to 1 cup, and it still was not real salty, but it was the way I like mine. I also let mine boil longer. I then left them in the pot w/lid over night. They were great!!!

I am from the south and here boil "green" peanuts. They are raw but have not been dried. Raw peanuts are generally dried. You can only get green peanuts during the summer months here but it is well worth it. Boil time is much shorter with green peanuts than raw. Just my 2cent as I boil many pounds of peanuts a year!

LOL! I laughed when I saw this recipe. I am from the midwest, and when I came to the deep south, you would see people set up on the side of the road selling "boiled peanuts". Never heard of it! So I decided to try it and thought they were the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted!!! I tried them a few years later, and they had not been boiled to the point of mush. I have since LOVED making them, even introducing my sister and brother-in-law, who live in Chicago, to them. They did not go over well. But I'll keep trying!!! :)

I LOVE BOILED PEANUTS. I USE A FEW SPOONFULS OF SOY SAUCE TO FLAVOR THE WATER(A TRICK I LEARNED DOWN SOUTH). IT ALWAYS TAKES 6-8 HOURS FOR MY PEANUTS TO COOK. I HAVE TO KEEP ADDING MORE FLAVORED WATER AS IT COOKS OUT.

Been eating em since I was a kid, most everyone loves em in Hawaii, although lots of different preferences.Some salty/or not,soft/firm,juicy/dry, hot/cold, or with differents spices.I like mine salty,firm,juicy,cold with no additional spices.I typically use 2# raw peanuts, wash in cold H2O then fill to cover peanuts and bring to boil on high, when boiling reduce to med/high for 1 more hour(make sure there is always enough H2O to cover nuts and stir occasionally to even out cooking). At 1 hour add 6 oz. sea/rock salt and boil for another 30 min. After 30 min. turn off heat and let sit for 4-5 hours or until cool(this makes em more juicy, you can even put a plate over them to weigh them down, just make sure there is enough H2O to cover them). If you drain nuts while they are hot the steam evaporating will make them drier.

For some reason these are really popular in Hawaii as well...use star anise (the star pods, not the seeds) and sea salt for flavoring. Awesome!

I live in the south, so boiled peanuts are second nature. I like the jumbo virginia white peanuts. Make sure any peanut you boil are what we call green peanuts (fresh out of the garden). People here also make Cajun Boiled Peanuts. You cook the same way, but you add crab boil to the water, and of course lots of salt.

The only thing this recipe lacks is a reminder to let the peanuts sink. You really must let them sit in the water until they sink for them to be really excellent. Also don't be afraid to put in some different spices. Bay leaf is very good in this recipe.

I love them right from the pot! The salty goodness is addicting! I like to taste test the boiled nuts before turning off the burner - these are not fussy so you won't ruin them. Nothing like standing at the kitchen sink eating fresh boiled peanuts with friends or family ...to be washed down with a cold beer of course!

YUM! These peanuts take me back to when I was a teenager and used to play softball in rural Georgia, and there would always be someone selling boiled peanuts at the softball fields. I'd indulge in them after the games, win or lose. I only used 1lb of peanuts and eye-balled the salt. Very easy and delicious!

Just great! I love boiled peanuts, but living in So. California, I just can't get them here! I have tried to make them before on the stovetop, and they just never turned out right. I did them in the slow cooker this time. After about 12 hours, I let them cool. They were just perfect! If you have never tried boiled peanuts, go right now and make these!
