Sweet Olivia, are dried chestnuts the uncooked ones? I know, I shoul know better. But I don’t darling. so I thought that I might as well get educated. Warmest hugs and happy 2012
Hi Valentina! Happy 2012 to you too.
After eating all those chestnuts on our last P2P night then I bet you should know much better 
Yes the dried are the uncooked ones, usually found already peeled. Let me know if you try it.
I will. I came back to copy the recipe down. I’m going to look for the chestnuts to buy.x
