Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 12 servings
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 2 hours
Difficulty: Easy
2-3 lb fresh green peanuts
1 1/2 cup regular table salt
Put the fresh green peanuts with their shells on and cover them good with water. Add salt and bring it to a boil for about an hour. To check whether they are done, pull one or two peanuts out of the pot and crack them open. When they are soft, they are done. If they are still slightly crunchy, they are not done yet. If they are not salty enough, leave them in salted water and turn off the heat.

I love green boiled peanuts. I have lots of trouble finding the green peanuts. Do you have a source where I can purchase online or by catalog? Thanks

Here is the easiest and best method for cooking boiled peanuts, using a slow cooker. 2 - 3lbs green (raw) peanuts, depending on size of slow cooker. Mine is a pretty standard size, 2 1/2 pounds is usually the perfect amount 1/2 cup salt Put peanuts in slow cooker, picking out any bad ones you see. Pour in salt, and enough water to cover the top of the peanuts. You can add other seasoning such as garlic or Cajun if desired. Cook overnight or at least 10 hours on Low setting. You could probably use the High setting and cut the time in half.

Can you can boiled green peanuts? If so, how? I know you can buy them in the store but I want to can my own. Or can they be frozen?

Put only one half cup of salt to 3 lbs of green peanuts and was perfect.

Was too much salt for 3 lbs. of green peanuts, one and a half cups of salt is too much. I'm cutting it to one cup next time. Love boiled peanuts. Wanted to give my Pastor and his wife some, but I didn't want them to have a stroke.

There is too much salt in this recipe!

Your boiled peanut recipe calls for way too much salt. Now I'm out of salt and peanuts. I don't know how much your peanuts cost but they are expensive where I live. Warning try only a half cup of salt to 2 to 3 pounds of peanuts. The recipe is wrong.

I had my sweet hubby bring home peanuts from a trip to GA. just so I could show folks here in North Dakota that peanut butter was not the only way to eat peanuts! Love em with some cajun seasoning in the water too! I think the crock pot is the eaisest way to cook em. Put em on the night before and let cook all night. Peanuts for breakfast!
