Roasted Chestnuts
Many years ago we harvested chestnuts from the family property and roasted them in the oven, they were good, but it was sooooo long ago. When I saw them at the local co-op, I decided to get a few for us to try again. I roasted them in the oven last night and they were delicious!
Now I need to read up on whether we can grow chestnuts here in Maine, if so, I’ll be planting a couple of trees, not only for us but for wildlife as well.
Have you ever had roasted chestnuts? What did you think?

We had a neighbor bring us chestnuts to use- TONS of them. We roasted them in a cast iron pan (huge) over the fire pit outside. Then we had to peel them all- that part was less fun! They were good and I did enjoy trying it out. I blended up most of them with water and froze the puree for soups and things.

We had roasted chestnuts recently and neither my husband nor I saw the appeal. They were rather mealy. He says they were similar the one other time he had them, 20-30 years ago.

I agree, they are a bit mealy!
