Roasted Chestnuts in Buttered Rosemary!

I was going through my usual Christmas magazines, and came across a great recipe for Roasting up Chestnuts!  I have always loved Chestnuts, but never mixed them with anything...I just roasted them over an open fire, like the song says! LOL~ these roasted chestnuts are by far the superior way to make them! This is a recipe I pulled from the December Bon Appetite!  I changed the recipe a bit, however! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!


Roasted Chestnuts in Buttered Rosemary!

1 pound of chestnuts, with an X cut into rounded side of nuts.
1 large sprig of rosemary~ leaves taken off
1/2 stick of melted butter
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
dash of ground cloves
1/2 tsp black pepper
Pinch of sugar


Soak chestnuts in X cut into them for a few minutes in water.  Take them out of water and put into bowl with all the other ingredients, stir well.  Place onto aluminum foil, and sprinkle, lightly with a bit of sugar.
Wrap them all up in aluminum foil and put into a dish and bake at 425 for 30-45 minutes, depending on size of nuts.
These chestnuts are magical, just like the Christmas season!! 
All roasted up, and ready to be devoured!  We cracked some more fresh salt on them, after roasting!  My boys loved them roasted up this way!  The rosemary butter is finger licking great!!
