Get your peanuts!!!!! Tank came home after working at his friend
Matt’s family farm, before the snow, with a brown grocery sack full of fresh
peanuts grown on the farm.
What to do?
Well I cleaned the peanuts with warm water, and then
placed the cleaned nuts in a pot of brine.
The brine; 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, 2 cups of nuts, and 3 cups of
water. Make sure the salt is dissolved, and
then add the nuts. Let them soak for
about 1 hour. Dump the water nut mixture
in a colander and rinse lightly. Place
the nuts on some paper towels and pat dry.
Place the dried nuts on a cookie sheet in a 300 degree oven for 45
minutes to 1 hour. Remove the cookie
sheet from the oven and let cool. Once
cooled, place the nuts in a moisture free container.

ReplyDeleteM.E.,
DeleteI didn't either!!!! Until my son came home with this big bag of nuts. I still have half a bag to process.
Those look awfully good, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteRev. Paul,
DeleteAfter processing the first half, I had to cheat and eat a few. They are delicious. This was the first time I processed nuts.
They don't make it to a container here. Raw, roasted or boiled. We love peanuts!
ReplyDeleteMamma Bear,
DeleteIt's hard to keep them around, they do move fast. I hid the container, lol
