ingredients
- 4 lbs raw peanuts, still inside the shell
- 10 ounces salt

directions
- Rinse all dirt off of peanuts inside of sink and drain.
- Place peanuts inside a large pot that leaves about 4 to 6 inches of room at the top of the pot.
- Cover peanuts with water leaving until the peanuts float to within 2 inches from the top of the pot.
- Add salt. A good hint is that all the salt you add will not be directly absorbed by the peanuts. So you can be generous.
- Bring to a rigorous boil and continue until soft. The time to boil depends on the peanuts and I think it is best done outside.
- Allow peanuts to absorb brine untill desired salty taste. About 1 hour +or -.

Made these for Fall 09 PAC Premie Adoption. I have had these bags of unsalted Peanuts sitting in the fridge forever waiting for just this recipe. I used Sea Salt, and since you can't use too much, used a 1 1/2 cups. As I sit here eating these as I write this I just gotta tell you how much I love these...they are the BOMB!!! And one added benefit, the shells go into the compost pit for next years garden. Wooo Hooo!!!
