Chestnuts Roasted on an Open Fire

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chestnuts
• 1/4 cup water
• salt

Directions

1. 1

   Take a cheap old frying pan, and using a hammer and large nail, or drill bit, make about 10 holes in the bottom.

2. 2

   Put an X in the skin of each chestnut. Heat pan over flame. Add chestnuts and using a spray bottle, spray with water.

3. 3

   Return to flame, shake pan slowly and constantly for about 15 min., occasionally spritzing with more water. (will require more yuletide songs).

4. 4

   Place chestnuts into large metal bowl, sprinkle with salt, and toss. Place chestnuts into 8 small brown bags, sprinkle a dash more salt into bag, and serve. (or sell em on the street corner for a nickel like they did in the ol' days)!
