Cooking Peanuts - Really Good Peanuts!

Last weekend, we visited my party in a box friend, Kay and her husband, Bill.  One of the main things John wanted to do while he was with them other than have fun.... was get Kay's recipe for making fried peanuts.  She had sent a jar full home with us last time we saw her and they were addictive.  So John, my peanut loving boy, couldn't wait to learn how she does it.

Here Kay shows him the process. Raw freshly hulled Greene County peanuts were used.  She put vegetable oil in a cast iron pan and cooked them over medium high gas heat.  When they get the "right" color, she takes them up and puts them on paper towels and salts them well, and allows them to cool.  Afterwards, she puts them in jars to give to friends.

Wow, they were so good.  Of course, I couldn't eat more than just a few due to the radiation treatments. But they were so fine.  Try them at home!  Or if you are lucky, a friend will give you a jar full!
