Not to worry! Has caught a lot of people out first time they see it. You
got *loads* of company. Most of us ignore it because to comment seems to
spur the fake one on, but now and again a nice fellow like you gets caught
so one of us lets you know what's up then drops the thread.

Here's what's cooking today:

Title: Xxcarol's Boiled Peanuts
Categories: Xxcarol, Appetizers, Crockpot
Yield: 15 Servings

1 lb Peanuts in shell
1/4 c Salt
1 tb Red Pepper
Water to cover

I love munchies! These are perfect for a salty snack and are very
inexpensive to make. Take a bag of peanuts, still in the shells (raw
or can be roasted already, makes little difference) and fill the
crockpot to 3/4 full. Now, add water to 1 inch below brim (yes dear,
they float and as they cook down, this is the rare recipe you will
add water to!). Now, add 1/4 cup salt. Sounds like alot but you want
very salty water. (Option, you can use seawater like we do in costal
Georgia!). If you like a bit of 'spice' add a hot red pepper powder
of your choice to it.

Set crockpot on low. As it cooks the shells down, you will probably
need to add a little water. This process will take about 3 days til
they are 'just right' (Nutmeat soft and salty-spicey).

Stovetop version- set on lowest setting. Will cost more than crockpot
running and time is not reduced.

Pressure-cooker version- I found the results very disappointing (no
flavor to the peanuts) so dumped them in the crockpot for 3 days. ;-)

MMMMM

Only making the reduced sodium version of it. It uses instead 1/2 the salt
and a bit of reduced sodium soy sauce then 1 TB black ground pepper and
plenty of red hot-sweet hungarian red pepper. Very spicy once done and you
wont miss the salt this way, but the full salt ones are good too if you dont
have sodium problems!
