Steps:
- Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Carefully cut a small X shape into the side of each chestnut. Boil the chestnuts for 20 minutes.
- While the chestnuts are cooking, melt the sugar in 2 tablespoons of water. The sugar syrup is done when the water boils and the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Drain the chestnuts and allow them to cool until you can comfortable handle them. Peel them by pulling back on the cut triangles of each X on the sides.
- Discard the skins and puree the cooked chestnuts.
- Add the chestnut puree to the sugar syrup and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- This sweetened chestnut puree recipe makes approximately 1 3/4 to 2 cups of chestnut spread, depending on the size of the chestnuts.
- Mixture is very thick, so add water by the tablespoon and blend until desired consistency is achieved.
