They keep well for months........Chestnut Puree : Shell and peel the chestnuts then boil them in a thin stock for about forty five minutes .Strain off the liquid,rub the nuts through a sieve,or mash them in a liquidiser.The resulting puree can be seasoned and used has a substitute for potatoes ,or for the basis of stuffings.............;)
