Boiled Peanuts in Crockpot

Boiled peanuts are totally a southern thing. They are a common thing to see at road side farm stands and even in some gas stations. I wish I had taken a picture of it but I saw a gas station once with a sign for “Boiled Peanuts and Fine Wines Inside”.  I made some at home today in the crockpot with this simple list of ingredients.

You need:

• about 1 pound or so of raw green peanuts
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 2 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning or other spice mix
• 6 cups of water

Just add everything to the crockpot and cook on high for about seven hours. They are best served hot.
