Directions
Boiled Raw Peanuts, Boiled peanuts are common to most southerners and a unique culinary experience , I am from Charleston, SC and must have these as a snack on the boat or at the beach When the peanuts were done, my dad always cooled them quickly by putting ice cubes in the water He said it helped the peanuts absorb the salt , I grew up in SC and LOVE boiled peanuts I buy raw peanuts in 25 lb boxes from Pittsburgh Snax and Nut Company It’s the only place close to where I live in WV that sells them Some times I will add some cajun seasoning like Tony Chachere’s for part of the salt You can also add a couple chopped hot peppers and some minced garlic to the water an hour or so before they’re done
