Ingredients

  • 300 grams Raw chestnuts
  • 150 ml Milk
  • 50 ml Water
  • 80 grams Raw cane sugar
  • 1 tbsp Rum

Method

  • Wash the chestnuts, pour in enough water to cover them and cook them for 8-12 minutes in a pressure cooker.
  • When the pressure has dropped, drain them in a sieve and spoon out the insides.
  • Place all the ingredients except for the rum in a saucepan and mash the chestnuts as they simmer (simmer well until the water has evaporated).
  • When it has cooled down, put the mixture in a food processor, and add the rum for the aroma and blend.
  • Pour it into a sterilized container and it's done.
  • Note: It has a lot of water but it is low in sugar, so it won't keep for very long.
  • Refrigerate the amount you wish to use and freeze the rest.
  • It's nice as a bread filling.
  • It's also nice used in this recipe.
