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 />
