Hungarian Chestnut Puree<br />

makes about 4 cups, takes 5 minutes<br />

(store-bought method)<br />

1 kg chestnuts or 600 g<br />

store-bought chestnut puree<br />

200 g vanilla sugar<br />

1/2 litre double cream<br />

1- 4 tbsp rum<br />

1/2 litre water<br />

Boil the chestnuts in water till tender, drain and pour cold water<br />

over top. This makes the chestnuts easy to peel. Take the outer<br />

and inner skin off and put the chestnuts through a mincer or<br />

Moulinette, using the finest blade.<br />

Make a thick syrup of the vanilla sugar with 1/2 litre water, and<br />

flavour with the rum, then mix with the chestnut puree.<br />

When cooled, coat with a slightly sweetened whipped cream.<br />

Chill before serving.<br />

If using store-bought chestnut purée, press through a sieve<br />

and add a few tablespoons of rum to loosen it up a bit before<br />

introducing the whipped cream.<br />
