A Recipe for
Crystallised Chestnuts

“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.”
Henry Miller, American writer (1891-1980)

“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.”
Dr. T. K. Chambers, A Manuel of Diet In Health and Disease (1875)

Herb Tip
Using Cilantro:
Also known as fresh coriander or Chinese parsley, cilantro is used to flavor dishes ranging from Asian to Indian to Mexican. Use sparingly, though, as too much cilantro will give your food a harsh, soapy flavor.

Herb Tip
Using Parsley:
Only the leaves of the parsley plant are used to add a mild, fresh taste to most dishes. Both flat-leaf parsley (also called Italian Parsley) and curly-leaf varieties are available and are virtually interchangeable in dishes that call for parsley.

Crystallised Chestnuts Directions

These titbits are good with strong cocktail to round off a meal.

Simmer 500 g peeled chestnuts in water for 20 minutes or until soft.
Do not stir in case the chestnuts break up. When they are cooked,
remove them gently from the water to a colander, using a slotted
spoon.

In a saucepan boil together without stirring 1 cup sugar, a 5 cm
stick of cinnamon and half a cup of water, until a drop forms a soft
ball in cold water. Skim the surface, cool, and add 1.5 tablespoons
rum and the chestnuts. Stir mixture gently with a wooden spoon until
it becomes creamy. Pour onto a greased platter and separate chestnuts
with a spoon.
