Ingredients:

Serving

3 lbs green raw peanuts
water
1 cup salt
1 lb smoked ham hocks (may use ham bone) or 1 lb meat
hot pepper (optional)

Directions:

I had trouble putting in 2-3 lbs of green raw jumbo peanuts. I am new at posting - please forgive.
Wash peanuts well to get rid of excess grit.
I always cover my peanuts with water add 1/2 the salt and bring to a boil for approx 15-20 minutes
Pour off that water and add more and the rest of the salt and smoked meat a cook until they are finished. You may need ro add more salt, this can be done as they cook and you begin to taste for doneness.
Usually a couple of hours on medium simmer.really to suit your own taste.I like mine fairly soft. Salt also is to your own taste. I split my batch in half most of the time and add hot peppers to taste as my kids love them hot.
Also, after they are finished cooking take them out of the water.if you don't they will continue to absorb the salt and will become way to salty.
Enjoy.and please let me know how you like them!
