Rinse the peanuts until the water runs clear. Place the peanuts in the crock pot. Add the salt and water and mix well to dissolve the salt.

Drain off any remaining water before serving. Serve immediately.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Tastes just like the peanuts I used to buy from a street vendor. I had no idea how easy it was. Was glad I took a chance and tried this recipe.
Yeah, you can only be so hard on a recipe like this. If you live in the south, you know that you just can't mess around too much with these without wasting your time. Boiled, salted peanuts are exactly that: Peanuts, salt, boil. It's like trying to use fancy chocolate for a S'more. It just doesn't taste like the real thing.

charlieb54 has never been through Georga because boiled peanuts are sold everwhere in the country. The peanuts are raw in the shell and warshed then boiled. 1 pound is about 1 1/2 quarts.
I only have 3 issues with this recipe: 1) peanuts are usually measured in ounces or pounds, especially for these kinds of recipes 2) no mention as to what size of slow-cooker is best for this recipe, and 3) most importantly, are the peanuts in the recipe shelled, or unshelled?
