Glazed Chestnuts

1. 1

   Cut a ring around each chestnut, then place them in boiling salted water to cover and cook for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove them from the water, a few at a time, and peel (both outer shell and inner skin) while still hot.

3. 3

   Put the butter in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium.

4. 4

   A minute later, add the chestnuts, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup water.

5. 5

   Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chestnuts are quite tender, about 30 minutes, adding a little more water if necessary.

6. 6

   When the chestnuts are ready, uncover and boil away any excess water, leaving the chestnuts glazed with the butter.

7. 7

   Serve hot.
