   Step 1: Place peanuts (5 pounds), salt (¾ cup), pickles with brine, jalapenos, and crab boil in a large pot. Pour in water to cover the peanuts; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until soft, at least 4 hours, adding water as needed to keep peanuts covered. Scoop peanuts out of the pot with a slotted spoon and serve hot.

   Uses 5 pounds raw peanuts, in shells · ¾ cup salt · 1 ¼ cups dill pickle slices, with brine · 5 small jalapeno peppers, sliced · 5 tablespoons dry crab boil (such as Zatarain's® Crab and Shrimp Boil)
