How to Freeze Boiled Peanuts (4 Steps)

Boiled peanuts are a longtime Southern tradition prepared by simply boiling raw, shelled peanuts for hours in salty water. By the end of the process, the peanut shells are soggy and the peanuts have taken on a delightfully earthy flavor. Boiled peanuts are typically enjoyed with a cold beverage outside, where the messy shells--that quite often squirt salty liquid when cracked open--can be tossed to the ground. The shelf-life of boiled peanuts is short. They generally last just a few days before they begin to go bad. However, if frozen properly, boiled peanuts will last as long as you can resist them.
