Chestnut is true delight of Autumn. The one can eat it simple roasted, but Serbian local speciality ~ Chestnut puree with cream is lovely dessert. If you like to try it here is recipe ~ Chestnuts Puree Ingredients: 4 lb. ( 2 kg.) chestnuts in shell 2 to 2-1/2 cups hot milk 1/3 cup icing sugar 1/2 cup butter, unsalted 4 tbsp. rum flavouring 2 cups whipping cream 1 tbsp. icing sugar Directions: Wash chestnuts. Place in a pot and pour enough water to cover them. Cook chestnuts for about 2 hours or until they are done. (Take one out, cut in half and check for softness - flesh should be soft). Strain off water and let them cool enough to handle. Clean them by removing the peal or cut them in two and scoop out flesh with a knife (rounded tip knife works better). Place all the flesh into a large bowl. Pour hot milk over chestnuts. Let stand a bit to cool then place half the chestnuts in food processor. Add half the sugar, half the butter, half the rum flavouring and mix together until smooth and creamy. Add a little bit of more milk if needed. Remove to a bowl and proceed with the remaining chestnuts, adding the rest of the sugar, butter and rum flavouring. Beat whipping cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. To serve, place some whipping cream in the bottom of individual footed glass bowls. Push the puree through a potato-press over the whipping cream. Garnish top with more whipping cream.
