Roasted Chestnuts Recipe

Instructions

1. Cut a little piece of the outer shell off each chestnut; this is to prevent them bursting when hot.
2. Boil them for about ten minutes; do not allow them to cool, but put them into a tin in the oven, or into a Dutch oven before the fire, and let them remain until they are quite soft.
3. Fold them in a napkin, and serve quite hot.
4. Salt should be eaten with them.
5. Time to bake, about ten minutes.
