Boiled Peanuts

 I made the mistake of posting this picture to my Facebook and Instagram accounts. To my surprise, there were quite a few of you asking me how I made them. Well, it's not a big secret, so I'll be happy to tell you.

If any of you have ever bought the green peanuts in the can Then you know how hard it is to eat them. They are very hard and it is near impossible to get the peanut out of the shell. This is just a simple way to make those peanuts something your whole family will devour.

Crockpot (Slow cooker) Or a large pot. I use a crockpot.

2 104-ounce cans of green boiled peanuts. If you can't find the large cans that's perfectly fine. Just get a larger amount of the small ones. Like 6 27-ounce cans.

Pour the peanuts into your crock pot. Be sure to taste the liquid to see if you need to add salt. If I have room, I usually add a little water (Maybe three cups.) Taste your liquid after adding the water to see if you need salt. Turn your crock pot on High and cook these overnight. Usually twelve to fourteen hours.

If you are using a pot, be sure to do this during the day so you can keep an eye on it. Bring your peanuts to a hard boil on high heat. Turn it down to medium-high heat cooking for about ten hours. Add salted water as needed.

When your peanuts are done. Strain them into a bowl. You can leave them out during the day for you and your family to enjoy. But refrigerate them overnight.
