Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In large steel stock pot (for outside use) place peanuts and fill with water 3/4 full.
  2. Add all but the jalapeños.
  3. Place on gas burner and heat until boiling.
  4. Boil at a steady boil for about 6 hours, adding water as needed to keep pot at least half full.
  5. Stir occasionally.
  6. During last 2 hours add jalapeños.
  7. Taste at the end of the 6 hours for doneness. They should be completely soft and the inside of the shells are completely wet looking-no white remains visible.
  8. Eat hot or cold!
  9. They are great!
  10. Freeze some for later-just heat in microwave to enjoy that fresh out of pot taste again!
