These peanuts will absorb a lot of water. <br /><br />After 5 hours of cooking, allow to soak for 2-4 hours. You need to taste test at about one hour of soaking to determine how salty you want them. During soaking they really start picking up salt. <br /><br />Store in the Frig. you can also freeze in quart bags to enjoy over the winter..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656432641681112781.post-13317902449946628112009-10-20T08:35:40.910-07:002009-10-20T08:35:40.910-07:00I am not a fan of peanuts any way, except boiled. ...I am not a fan of peanuts any way, except boiled.
