This is a great Southern recipe. It can be used with a crockpot or a regular pot. Get a bag of peanuts and some cajun seasoning. Put peanuts in crockpot/pot cover with water. Add a lot of season. The more the better. Cover and Boil and then reduce to low. Cook on low for a minumum of 12 hours. The peanuts should be soft. They can stay cooking on low for up to 3 days. Enjoy.

Does this need the fresh, raw peanuts?

My dh makes a chinese version of boiled peanuts. It's with fresh, young peanuts. Boil them with soy sauce, a few star anise or a little 5 spice powder and some salt. They are pretty addictive. Like a bag a potato chips.

No don't use the raw. I tried them once and they did not come out good at all. Just use regular unsalted peanuts in a bag.

Tried this recently in my crockpot with a bag of frozen peanuts and smoked turkey wings for flavor. Another southern recipe This is more of an entree though with the turkey wings

These are peanuts with or without the shell?
