Green Jumbo Boiled Peanuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 lbs green peanuts (jumbo or runners)
2 cups salt
15 quarts water (or enough to cover peanuts)

Preparation

Pour green peanuts into very large stockpot.
Fill with water, until pot is about 2/3 full leaving enough room for the pot to boil without overflowing.
Pour in salt and stir into water.
Turn on high heat and bring water to a boil.
Turn heat on low or med-low and keep it at a low boil or simmer.
Cook 10-12 hours slowly, stirring occasionally and taste water to see if salt is needed.
Turn off heat and allow to soak for an hour or two. Soaking allows the peanuts to really get the brine taste.
Reheat when you are ready to eat.
