Instructions
- Rinse the Raw, Green Peanuts thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- In a large stockpot, combine all Brine ingredients and 12 cups (2.8 L) of water. Bring to a boil.
- Add the Raw, Green Peanuts and Optional Bay Leaf to the boiling brine.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2-4 hours, or until peanuts reach desired tenderness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more Kosher Salt or Cayenne Pepper to your preference.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Peanuts will continue to absorb flavor as they cool.
