I'm boiling some green peanuts!

I had to come to this forum to share my excitement cuz no one local really understands!

We lived in Ladson for 18 months and Irmo for 18 months before we moved back to Iowa- I can't tell you how much I miss shrimp and grits and boiled peanuts- but now I've got the peanuts- I had a 1/4 bushel shipped to me.

-- me waiting for the peanuts to boil!

YUMMMMMM....enough said.  EnjoY!

Thanks- they turned out fantastic! The kids are very excited

I love boiled peanuts too!  A friend who cooks them in Sumter said the best ones are allowed to cool in the sal****er as this is when the flavoring happens.  I, however, have never done them myself and wondered how you did? ~Laura

last night was the last night I have tried green peanuts- i just rinsed them really well and put in pot with lots of sea salt and grill seasoning and brought to a boil- I let it simmer for about 90 minutes until done and let cool- they are fantastic

I have boiled the other peanuts- I cooked them overnight on low in a crockpot- that worked well too

next time I want to try a red pepper flake seasoning

I am seriously considering setting up a stall at the local farmer's market next summer and seeing how well they would sell

Darn it!  I was coming over but can't make it quite that far today!  Enjoy!!!!!!!
