ROASTED SLIGHTLY SALTED PEANUTS

ROASTED SLIGHTLY SALTED PEANUTS

I grew peanuts in the garden.  I like them in the shell with a little salt.  The store bought peanuts in the shell are too salty for me.  I experimented and came up with a roasted slightly salty peanut. 

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Yield:  16 cups

16 cups of peanuts in the shell

1-cup salt. 

After peanuts are washed free place them in a large plastic dishpan. 

Add water to cover, salt, and let the peanuts soak overnight. 

Drain water from peanuts and place them on two cookie sheets. 

Roast, stirring occasionally for 1 1/2-hours at 300 degrees.
