Boiled peanuts are a fantastic Southern treat. You can make them with fresh, green peanuts, or approximate the real thing with raw, air-dried peanuts. 

Real boiled peanuts can only be enjoyed in the fall, when moist, green peanuts have just been plucked from wet dirt (mostly in the South). If you’re growing peanuts, you’ll be able to do this, or find a farmer who will sell you some green peanuts (see “Recommended Green and Raw Peanut Sources,” below). Your boiled peanuts will freeze well for year-round snacking, or you can also approximate the real thing by starting with raw peanuts. Yield: 1 pound.

Ingredients: 

1 pound green peanuts in the shells
5 tbsp kosher salt
