It requires walking under chestnuts tree and some good gloves!
It was a little too early in the season,
but we were able to gather quite a few:
We didn't roast them
(as I have previously done in the past: here),
but instead removed their hard shells
and boiled them with some salt.
The boiled chestnuts have to be eaten warm,
as it is easiest to pill the last skin before eating them.
It is a little messy, and fun and delicious!
And with a glass of cool hard cider it is perfect!
I hope I will be able to find some at the grocery store for Christmas,
other wise I know I can always find the candied version
and make more Buche de Noel aux marrons:
Another version that can easily be found is those little bags of ready to eat roasted chestnuts,
they are ok, not quite like the fresh ones but better than nothing!
And I enjoy eating them with Beaujolais Nouveau!
(Here for last year Beaujolais nouveau celebration!)
