I like my boiled peanuts soft and these took forever to finish. Only had 2.5lbs of peanuts, so used a half cup of salt. Honestly, I think that was too much. I wasn't expecting it to be salty at all. Not with only half a cup, but it was. It probably helped that I cooked them for so long and then let them sit in the brine to cool though. I brought it to a boil, and turned it down to a simmer. I had to refill the pot about 6 times in the 7 hours it took for the peanuts to get to the texture that I desired. Next time, I'll reduce the salt just a bit more, and will probably add in other spices.
