"I
bought a can of boiled peanuts the first time I was ever in Tennessee.
They are really different and I guess you have to acquire a taste
for them, but we liked them instantly." - Submitted by Dee

Boiled
Peanuts
- 5 pounds green peanuts
in their shells
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 5 quarts water
- Wash the peanuts in at
least three exchanges of water. Bring water and salt to a boil. Add nuts. Boil for 45 minutes
or desired doneness, firm
to mushy. Turn off heat. Let cool in the water, this allows nut
to absorb the salt.

and served warm.
