Instructions
0 Place chestnuts, milk, sugar, vanilla bean, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. 1 Bring to a boil, turn down the heat to medium heat, and let it simmer, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes or until the milk is reduced to ½ cup. After the first 15 minutes, it starts to thicken quite a bit, so keep a close eye on it. 2 Place a mesh strainer over a bowl and carefully strain the chestnut and milk mixture, saving the liquid at the bottom. Remove the vanilla bean. 3 Transfer the chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor and process until pureed, stopping and scraping down the sides a few times. 4 Depending on the recipe you plan to use your chestnut puree, adjust its consistency by adding the reserved liquid as it is blending.View original recipe
