Boiled Peanuts

1 pound green peanuts, 

(We prefer the jumbo peanuts)

6 cups water 

3 tablespoons of table salt

Bring to a boil then lower heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.  You may have to add water to keep the peanuts covered.  After 2 hours taste the peanuts to see if they have reached the desired tenderness.   I like mine to be firm.  If you like softer ones you can cook another hour.  I then remove from heat and let the peanuts just sit in the water about 20 minutes.   They will get salter so taste for desired saltiness.  It's all a matter of preference.
