Breezy Chick aka Bree says:Thanks Alice!!! I love cooking but being in Australia I haven’t had much to do with chestnuts, soooooo…. when you say, chestnuts peeled and chopped, I assume they are raw? Is that right? How do you peel a chestnut? With just a vege peeler? I imagine if they were roasted 1st the skins would come off easily like any other roasted nut. Totally clueless when it comes to chestnuts… lol…. but I hear they are extremely popular over there during the festive season so I am going to give it a go. Thanks again!!
