  • Transfer the chestnut mixture to a food processor; puree until the mixture is very smooth and has the consistency of a thick spread. Add a little more broth if a thinner consistency is desired. Return the puree to the pan; cover to keep warm.

  • Reheat over low heat just before serving; thin with a little water, if desired.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2 up to 1 hour in advance.

Tip: Cooked peeled chestnuts are available in jars in the baking aisle or with seasonal foods at many supermarkets.
