Skin Removal
Dry Methods:
Freeze raw shelled peanuts several hours or overnight: remove a few at a time from the freezer; slip skins off with fingers.
Roast raw shelled peanuts in a 350° F oven for 3 to 5 minutes; remove from oven and cool slightly; rub between fingers to remove skins.
Moist Method:
Water blanch by placing raw shelled peanuts, a few at a time, into boiling water. Allow to stand for about 3 minutes, drain. Remove skins with fingers. Spread on paper to dry.
