As they say, you are remembered for what you did in November.<BR/><BR/>But, with that said, I will stilll fly my flags.<BR/><BR/>I must say that for my first batch, I have learned some valuable lessons.<BR/>1) Green Peanuts take a long time to get soft a mushy. Take this into account.<BR/>2) The process of "testing" the peanut's softness (called "sampling") can lead to a sense of fullness. Be careful to not oversample.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774825654612120198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20818116.post-71213820862738327062007-11-04T11:37:00.000-05:002007-11-04T11:37:00.000-05:00Well, as Rick indicated, the Gamecocks are done fo...Well, as Rick indicated, the Gamecocks are done for the season as far as I am concerned. <BR/><BR/>But the peanuts...ahhhh! And yes, they take much salt. Since they're technically cooking in a brine, I believe Alton Brown would say your water should taste like seawater. But they do continue to absorb more salt after you stop salting them, so be careful.<BR/><BR/>One can also prepare them in a crock pot, but I prefer the old-fashioned method.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161585710178088981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20818116.post-72360603391362814632007-11-03T21:25:00.000-04:002007-11-03T21:25:00.000-04:00Hope the peanuts are good.
