WASH RAW PEANUTS PUT IN A LARGE POT. COVER WITH WATER.
FOR EVERY QUART OF WATER USED TO COVER THE PEANUTS,
ADD 1/4 CUP (YES, THAT MUCH) SALT. BOIL PEANUTS.
Directions:
Directions:
BOIL PEANUTS UNTIL DARK AND SOFT. THIS CAN TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. AS THE WATER BOILS AWAY, ADD MORE WATER - NO NEED TO ADD ANY MORE SALT, THOUGH. DRAIN AND SERVE IN THE SHELL, WITH COLD BEER, SOFT DRINKS, ICED TEA. BE SURE TO REFRIGERATE WHATEVER ISN'T CONSUMED RIGHT AWAY. A BUNCH OF BOILED PEANUTS KEPT IN A ZIPLOCK BAG ARE GREAT TO HAVE AT A BALLGAME OR ON THE BEACH OR BY THE POOL. THEY ARE ALSO TERRIFIC ROAD FOOD - SURE, THEY'RE CLUMSY AND MESSY TO CONSUME WHILE DRIVING, BUT COMBINE THEM WITH A PUBLIX DELI SANDWICH AND SOMETHING COLD TO DRINK, A FINE PICNIC CAN BE HAD AT ANY OF THE QUALITY HIGHWAY REST AREAS IN THE SOUTH. RAW PEANUTS ARE AVAILABLE AT PUBLIX (ALSO BRAVO AND WINN-DIXIE) SUPERMARKETS. MAJOR FLORIDA PEANUT-GROWING AREAS ARE LEVY, MARION, ALACHUA, GILCHRIST, SUWANNEE, AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES; BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ROADSIDE VENDORS PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE ALONG NON-INTERSTATE
FLORIDA HIGHWAYS (THE MORE RURAL THE BETTER, OF COURSE).
