Recipe: LET'S GET BOILING!

A Southern Tradition, One Peanut at a Time.

There’s nothing quite like a pot of Southern boiled peanuts. All it takes is a little salt, a little patience, and a good batch of raw peanuts. Here’s our favorite way to turn your 2-pound bag of Tennessee Peanut Company Raw In-Shell Peanuts into a Southern classic.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• 2 lbs. Tennessee Peanut Company Raw In-Shell Peanuts (1 bag)

• 1 gallon water (16 cups)

• ½ cup kosher or sea salt (adjust to taste)

• 3 tablespoons of your favorite seasoning (optional)

LET'S GET COOKING!

1. RINSE 'EM.

Rinse your peanuts thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any damaged peanuts. No need to soak them beforehand!

2. GET THE POT GOING.

Place your peanuts in a large pot. Add 1 gallon of water, ½ cup salt, and any optional seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and gently simmer.

3. KEEP 'EM SWIMMING.

Make sure the peanuts stay covered with water as they cook. Check occasionally and add more water whenever needed.

4. GIVE 'EM TIME.

Simmer for approximately 5–8 hours, or until the peanuts reach your preferred tenderness. Start checking around the 5-hour mark by carefully removing a peanut, letting it cool, cracking the shell, and tasting the nut inside. Some folks like a little firmness; others like 'em good and soft. Keep cooking until they're just right for you!

5. LET 'EM REST & ENJOY!

Turn off the heat and let the peanuts cool briefly in their salty cooking water to soak up more flavor. Drain, crack open the shells, and enjoy the peanuts inside. Discard the shells.

A LITTLE SOUTHERN ADVICE

Boiled peanuts are best enjoyed with good company, plenty of napkins, and absolutely nowhere you need to be.

STORAGE TIP

Boiled peanuts are perishable! Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container within 2 hours of cooking and enjoy within 3–4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
