Fresh chestnuts are a holiday harbinger and we source high quality, lump nuts. To peel them, cut an x into the flat end then roast over an open fire or in the oven for 15-20 min. Let them cool a little then peel while still warm. The nutmeat inside will be sweet and starchy with a faint smoky flavor and creamy consistency. You can also boil or microwave chestnuts and use in baked goods, stuffings, sauces & more.
