Southern Boiled Peanuts
I tried boiled peanuts for the first time about 15 years ago. I was living in Spartanburg, S.C. and the woman I was dating at the time talked me into trying them. I got hooked and have been making my own ever since. Over the years I have tweaked my recipe to what it is today.

Add the 3 bags of peanuts to the pot along with the presoak water. Cover with the lid and let sit over night. (24 hours)

Drain the peanuts and set them aside. Wash out the pot, removing any grit from the peanuts.

Add another 2.5 gallons of spring water. Add the salt, ham hocks, peppers, and beer to the pot. Bring to a boil.

Once the boil begins, add the peanuts back in and let them boil for 2 to 4 hours. After the first 2 hours, begin pulling out a peanut every 30 minutes and tasting. Once they get slightly al dente, turn off the heat.

Now here is the trick to making tasty boiled peanuts. Leave the peanuts in the brine while the pot cools. I was told that lets peanuts soak up extra flavor.....and it does.
