Add crab boil and salt to the pot then you can call em Cajun peanuts. I have a friend who puts ham hocks, salt and a little sugar when he boils peanuts and they are very tasty, funny thing.. he is from Long Island,NY. the Fresh ("green") peanuts are the best to boil, I hate it when the road side vendors boil the dried ones.

=) Boiled peanuts brings back memories...  When I was just a lad of 5 or 6 I visited my Grandmother in Philly.  Originally, she's from South Carolina.  We went to a B.B. King concert, and she was considerate enough to bring a large Tupperware bowl of boiled peanuts.  I don't remember much about the concert, but I do remember the peanuts.  I've been eating them ever since.

BB King and Boiled Peanuts - how can you beat that combo (IMO) - LOL

I was just reading this thread over, as a hunting buddy /neighbor just gave me a couple pounds of cleaned, green peanuts (goobers), fresh out of his garden. I only need to boil them and just wanted to refresh my memory. I plan to throw in a tad of cinnamon (I think i heard that somewhere but maybe only because I used to put it in my coffee pots and liked the effect - no, cinnamon isn't sweet by itself).

My dad has always talked about the boiled peanuts he used to eat as a kid in Florida, and after my recent trip to Florida (with my Dad), I can see why.  They are delicious!  Thank you for posting the recipe.

A simple but tasty snack indeed , eh?       (Watch the quantity at a sitting, though; they do tend to give you gas, some folks worse than others.)

During the season you can find them at any roadside stand mom and pops store, or a farmer selling them out of his pickup. I love them and miss them here in Ca. We bought a bushel last year and did them here at home. Expensive to have them sent here.

Some of the big chain grocery stores carry them (green) (like WallyWorld, etc. here) but even up North (I saw some in stores in Maine and NH). I guess folks roast them up there, or something - cause I never got any boiled ones while we were up there for 6 years - LOL.

I was sueprised to see this pop up again!As far as I know, It was always  green peanuts we boiled with plain ole table salt. I wasn't aware that some people boiled the dry ones. It must take a long time for them to soften up?

We use Chinese 5 spice and soy sauce here in Hawaii
