Georgia Hot Boiled Peanuts
All you need is a big pot, water, a "lot" of salt, and raw peanuts. Raw peanuts are not what you eat at the ball park; those have been roasted. Don't try to boil roasted peanuts as they will just will just taste like salty peanut butter.
Amy's recipe is to use a crock pot:
Fill the Crockpot about 2/3 full of water.
Add 1/2 cup of salt. The taste should be a bit saltier than sea water.
Add raw peanuts. They may float at first until they are soaked through with water.
Cook for 6-12 hours.
You can tell when they are done when the shells easily open by squeezing them with your fingers and the peanuts inside are completely soft. You won't save much time cooking them on the stove. It takes hours and hours for the water to soften those shells.
