You can make roasted chestnuts at home by roasting them in the oven until softened, and them cooking them in melted butter with a sprinkling of salt and cinnamon for a delicious festive snack.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chestnuts
- 0.25 cups butter
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- salt to taste
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
3
Wash and dry chestnuts. Place flat-side down on a cutting board. Using a paring knife, score a large "X" on the rounded side, covering at least half of the chestnut. Make sure the knife goes through the outer skin and the brown layer underneath. This will aid peeling after being roasted. Place nuts in a shallow baking pan.

Place nuts in a skillet with butter; sauté over high heat until butter is melted and chestnuts are well coated.

Return skillet to oven and roast until they are golden on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt.

Pear Clafoutis
It sounds odd to say that a recipe's biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that's the case with this pear clafoutis, a crustless custard fruit tart that often looks a lot sweeter and richer than it actually is. Usually made with cherries, this rustic French dessert adapts easily to any kind of seasonal fruit. If desired, brush the top with warmed fruit preserves and honey and garnish with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.
