Chestnut School - Lovingston
Fire up the grill
Grill, firepit, campfire, fireplace -- It's your choice if you like the smokey taste. You can even use the oven. For us, we like the grill with apple wood chips.
Savor the aroma
The outer skin is scored and placed in the roasting pan. The smoke and sugars combine to create a magnificent aroma, sure to attract the curious and connoisseur.
Peel and Enjoy
Peel the outer skin while still hot. Enjoy the smokey, sweet flavor of the chestnut. Share with friends!
