Homemade Chestnut Paste

Homemade Chestnut Paste

Ingredients:
nuts, chestnuts, european, dried, peeled
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
water, bottled, generic
sugars, granulated
alcoholic beverage, distilled, rum, 80 proof

Directions:
Wash the chestnuts, pour in enough water to cover them and cook them for 8-12 minutes in a pressure cooker.
When the pressure has dropped, drain them in a sieve and spoon out the insides.
Place all the ingredients except for the rum in a saucepan and mash the chestnuts as they simmer (simmer well until the water has evaporated).
When it has cooled down, put the mixture in a food processor, and add the rum for the aroma and blend.
Pour it into a sterilized container and it's done.
Note: It has a lot of water but it is low in sugar, so it won't keep for very long.
Refrigerate the amount you wish to use and freeze the rest.
It's nice as a bread filling.
It's also nice used in this recipe.
