1 pound fresh, raw peanuts, in shells
10 ounces salt
1 gallon water
Directions:
Wash in shell freshly harvested raw peanuts in cool water. Put 1 pound raw shelled peanuts in a large pan. Cover with 1 gallon of water and add 10 ounces of salt (more salt may be added for a saltier taste). Allow peanuts to soak 2 hours.
Peanuts will absorb some of the water. It may be necessary to add enough water to replace absorbed water. Place a lid on the pot & bring peanuts to a boil. Boil covered for 1 hour or until tender. If more saltiness is desired, let stand in hot brine. Drain. Peanuts may be eaten immediately or they may be frozen (allow to completely cool & put in airtight containers) They will keep indefinitely when frozen.
