1 cup kosher salt
5 quarts water
Wash the peanuts in at least three exchanges of water. Bring water and salt to a boil. Add nuts. Boil for 45 minutes or desired doneness, firm to mushy. Turn off heat. Let cool in the water, this allows nut to absorb the salt. Can be frozen and later dropped into boiling salt water and served warm.
