    WHAT ARE BOILED PEANUTS?

    Boiled peanuts are definitely an acquired taste but southerners take their traditional snack seriously. They have a smooth creamy flavor similar to chickpeas.  Some like their boiled peanuts mild and salty while others like theirs spicy cajun boiled. When you crack open the shell and pop out the peanuts they are a  bit slimy in texture and very soft.  Be sure and have a napkin nearby because the peanut juice tends to run down your arms to your elbows.

    DO YOU SHELL BOILED PEANUTS?

    Boiled peanut shells are slightly soft because of the long boiling process. A hardcore southerner might say you should eat the shell however most people discard them after picking out the peanuts.

    HOW TO COOK BOILED PEANUTS

    Boiled peanut recipe is very easy to make and a fun snack to serve to everyone.

    1. Thoroughly rinse raw green peanuts, unshelled peanuts in water.

    2 Put water enough water in a stockpot to cover peanuts well. Add salt, seasoning, peanuts. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer if needed to reach the desired level of softness.

    3. Place boiled peanuts in a bowl, add a little juice. Serve with napkins because peeling boiled peanuts can get messy.

    HOW TO CAN BOILED PEANUTS

    LEARN TO CAN BOILED PEANUTS - Canning your own boiled peanuts is very easy but you must use a pressure canner because peanuts are a low acid food.  The only thing else you will need for your canned boiled peanuts are green peanuts, figure one pound per quart jar,  some canning salt, and spicy cajun seasoning if you want a kick to your boiled peanuts.
