Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs raw peanuts in shells
- ¼ cup salt

Instructions
- Sort through the raw peanuts to remove any debris and rinse them well under cold water.
- Soak the cleaned peanuts in cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain when done.
- Place the peanuts in the crockpot and add the salt. Cover them with water, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Set the crockpot to high and cook for about 7½ hours, adjusting for preferred tenderness.
- Taste the peanuts halfway through cooking, and add more salt if needed, stirring gently.
- Monitor the water level, adding more if it dips below the peanuts, to keep them fully submerged during cooking.
- Once cooked to your liking, drain the peanuts and enjoy them warm, or store for later snacking.
Notes
Ensure peanuts are fully submerged in water during cooking for optimal flavor.
Feel free to adjust the salt according to your taste preferences.
