Not huckleberries but how to peel boiled chestnuts at home?
How best to peel boiled chestnuts?
http://i.cubeupload.com/U4hV1d.jpg The grandkids love boiled chestnuts, so I boil them for about 45 minutes, but for the life of me, I can't "easily" get that darn peel & underlying skin off. Is there a better trick than what I'm doing now, which is to use a utility knife to scratch an X on the flat underside of the hard peel, and then attempt to peel the shell (and underlying skin) off while it's still soft after boiling? That X process seems to leave too much of that skin still on the nut? |
