Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs raw peanuts in shells
- ¼ cup salt
- water
Instructions
- Rinse and soak the raw peanuts, removing any debris and soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes before draining.
- Place the soaked peanuts in the crockpot, add salt, and cover them with water, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Set the crockpot on high and cook for approximately 7½ hours, or until the peanuts reach your desired softness.
- Taste the peanuts halfway through cooking, adding more salt if needed and stirring them gently.
- Monitor the water level during cooking; add more water if it dips below the top of the peanuts to keep them submerged.
- Once tender, drain the peanuts and serve warm or store for later snacking.
Notes
Adjust salt as desired during cooking for a more flavorful result.
Check the water level frequently to ensure the peanuts remain submerged while cooking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a tasty snack later.
