Homemade Chestnut Paste

• 300 grams Raw chestnuts
• 150 ml Milk
• 50 ml Water
• 80 grams Raw cane sugar
• 1 tbsp Rum

1. Wash the chestnuts, pour in enough water to cover them and cook them for 8-12 minutes in a pressure cooker.
2. When the pressure has dropped, drain them in a sieve and spoon out the insides.
3. Place all the ingredients except for the rum in a saucepan and mash the chestnuts as they simmer (simmer well until the water has evaporated).
4. When it has cooled down, put the mixture in a food processor, and add the rum for the aroma and blend.
5. Pour it into a sterilized container and it's done.
6. Note: It has a lot of water but it is low in sugar, so it won't keep for very long.
7. Refrigerate the amount you wish to use and freeze the rest.
8. It's nice as a bread filling.
9. It's also nice used in this recipe.
