Chestnut Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chestnuts

  • 2 cups butter

  • 2 cups minced onion

  • 2 cups minced celery

  • 10 cups dried bread crumbs

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • 1 teaspoon dried savory

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

With a sharp knife cut a cross on the flat side of each chestnut. Simmer, covered with water, in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Drain. While hot, remove the shells and inner brown skins. Cover with fresh water. Boil for 20 to 30 minutes until tender. Drain. Chop coarsely.

Melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan. Add onions and celery, and cook until limp. Add bread crumbs and spices. Mix thoroughly. Mix in chestnuts. Salt to taste.

Any extra stuffing can be baked in a covered casserole in the oven with the turkey for the last hour.
