Some friends approached me about some Boiled green peanuts... I guess we have had a good year cause the jumbo peanuts are huge... Does anyone have the ratio of salt to water concentration that they use. I am using 10Oz (weight) salt per 1 gallon water... Am planning to cook for two hours and test for doneness... Then let them sit overnight to reabsorb the brine. I am payin $50/bushel for these monsters and can sell for 4x that much for sure. Thanks for any help, doc

That sounds a little high David. I haven't boiled many in the past few years...not after "the incident"...I always parch them now. They gonna soak up allot of that brine as they rest...lettin them rest that long might mak'em too salty. You can always add more if you need to...coure by the time you know that you need to it might be too late....but you can't take it out if you add too much. I you gonna be selling drinks too I'd add a pound per gallon.  I'll as my Momma tonight...she's the peanut boiler around here. |

Thanks guys, I cooked the first batch for for 3 hours and let it rest for 30 minutes, placed in a full steamer pan and let cool. The salt content is just right as long as I they dont sit too long. I will do the other half with a slight adjustment... thanks for the help... doc

Well, I dunno about that ratio thing. we just filled my Mom's largest stock pot with peanuts and water, and added 3/4 to 1 of those Morton's salt things...1 pound IIRC.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer "all night". Last one to bed filled it again with water, first one up made sure they were done. No "setting" overnight. They's done.

BILLY... I DID USE 5 JAPOLANOS AND 1/2 BOTTLE OF HOGS BREATH TO SEASON THE SALT WATER... REALLY WANT TO TRY CARRIBBEAN SMOKE ON A SMALLER BATCH NEXT WEEKEND.
BOB... I HAVE HEARD OF DOING THAT WITH RAW PEANUTS WHICH ARE SOMEWHAT DRIED IN THE SHELL. THESE HAVE JUST COME OUT OF THE FIELDS AND ARE MOIST OR SORTA SOFT. THE WAY I TELL IS IF THE SMELL LIKE PENECILLIN THE ARE GREEN ENOUGH.
THE RECIPE WAS 7 GALLONS WATER, TWO ROUND CANS OF NON-IODIZED SALT AND SEASONINGS. I COOKED THE LAST BATCH FOR 2.5 HOURS AND LET SIT FOR 45 MINUTES. THE SALT COULD BE REDUCED SOME SO THAT THEY COULD SIT LONGER.
I USUALLY FREEZE THEM IN GUART VACUUM BAGS FOR LATER. THESE WERE SO GOOD I DONT KNOW IT THEY WILL MAKE TO THE BAGS.
THANKS, DOC

we boil a bushel of peanuts every year for the 4th of july family reunion and i use a pound of salt to start with when they are half way done i add another half of a pound and let them finish boiling. I cook them in a wash tub on a double burner propane stand it usually takes 3 to 4 hours just don't know what number wash tub I use.
I agree with bob where is papa sam he's the peanut guru.

DOC,
I BOIL ALOT OF PEANUTS DURING COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON.
I PRETTY MUCH DO THE DUMP METHOD ON THE SALT BUT IF I HAD TO GUESS IT WOULD PROBALY BE ABOUT 5 OZ PER GAL. OF WATER.
I ALSO USE RED PEPPER FLAKES AND FREASH JALAPENO PEPPERS
ABOUT 8 OR 10 PER 3 GAL. POT
HOPE THIS HELPS |

Well since I was born and raised and still live in the PEANUT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD ,I say to heck with boiling or parching or whatever. Just dig em up and eat em.
But when I do boil em I start with fresh "green" peanuts and put water and salt in the pot with the peanuts and boil until just right. Don't need no receipe.
Boiling "dryed peanuts" is a CRIME.
Now if you have some dry shelled peanuts then put some in a dish and add a little salt and ZAP em in the Micro.

Go get you a beer keg drink it dry . Then when you so get sober up cut the top out of the keg .Get you a bushel of green peanuts ( $30.00 a bushel in Chipley Fl) Dump them in the keg fill it up with water add a box and 1/2 of rock salt. Fire up the fish cooker and boil for about 6 hr's .Keep adding water as needed. Then enjoy some Southern Boiled Peanuts

boil 6 hours ? That seems excessive to me I've only done them a few times but about three hours seemed to be plenty, they where nice and soft. Now if trying to smoke them in the smoker maybe six would work, rub with a little oil and dry rub over some hickory.... may have to try it.
