How to Boil Peanuts
Bypass roadside stands that sell boiled peanuts in June, and ignore the directions on bags of raw peanuts that tell you to
boil them in salted water for eight hours. Real boiled peanuts are made with fresh, green nuts, so they’re a seasonal treat of
autumn. To make this delicacy, wash immature pods very well, and place them in a pot of very salty water. Bring to a boil and
simmer for 60 to 90 minutes. Drain, cool and enjoy. Leftovers may be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
