Ingredients

  • 2 lbs raw peanuts, in the shell (green)
  • 4 tablespoons cajun seasoning (I get the blackening seasoning from Sam's wholesale)
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 tablespoons salt (heaping)
  • 5 fresh jalapenos, seeded and sliced thick

Method

  • In large steel stock pot (for outside use) place peanuts and fill with water 3/4 full.
  • Add all but the jalapenos.
  • Place on gas burner and heat until boiling.
  • Boil at a steady boil for about 6 hours, adding water as needed to keep pot at least half full.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • During last 2 hours add jalapenos.
  • Taste at the end of the 6 hours for doneness. They should be completely soft and the inside of the shells are completely "wet" looking--no white remains visible.
  • Eat hot or cold!
  • They are great!
  • Freeze some for later--just heat in microwave to enjoy that fresh out of pot taste again!
