Ingredients:

• gathered chestnuts, with outer shells (stickers) removed

Directions:

1. pre-heat oven to 425° F
2. cut an "X" shape on the round side of each chestnut using a small serrated knife (best to wear mesh gloves) -- to keep them from exploding
3. arrange chestnuts on a baking sheet
4. roast 15-20 min, until the skins have pulled back from the cuts and the nutmeats have softened
5. remove, pile then into a mound in a towel, then squeeze until they crackle
6. let sit for a few minutes to cool
7. peel off the dark shells and the dark papery skin

Preserving:

• store in a jar?
