Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....

Yesterday's walk took us through woods full of sweet chestnuts, so later on...


We bought the chestnut roaster at an auction, it's old and I like to think many families have enjoyed using it. The hardest part is allowing the fire to die down, I like chucking more logs on! The lid is great - chestnuts explode sometimes!

Our latest foraging crop - sweet chestnuts! Mr Nifty loosened the skins by putting them in boiling water briefly, peeled and chopped them and mixed them with sausage meat to stuff our Sunday Roast chicken - delicious!

I've put some in the freezer to roast on our open fire at Christmas, using a brass chestnut roaster I found at auction ages ago.
