Buy a jar of Italian Marron(chestnut) 700 gm , add a cup of water, 1 vanilla pod, cook 10-15 minutes, drain, puree with 3 TBSP sugar 2 TBSP Myers rum. make about 1.5 Lb.
done in less than 30 minutes. The canned chestnut puree is way too swweet and watery.

You can buy cheap chestnuts from Sxxxxstore, but not chestnut cream
which is imported from either France or Italy

Thanks~~~
I planned to make it myself too...
But then I hate the part cracking the shell and peeling it's furry skin.
Cuz it take a long time to do it, epecially when buying those Italian Chestnuts.
My Family and I tried different ways still takes a long time to do so.
Usually, how do you peel the Italian Chestnuts' skin?
I heard that the Chinese ones are easier to peel, but not always instock.

P.S. What is Vanilla Pod and where can I get the myers rum?  Can I use the Rum for Tiramisu like the Bacardi Gold.  Cuz I have that @ home~~

That is the reason I said to buy a jar of Italian chestnut, already peeled, and cook to puree in 15 minutes or less.
The fresh Italian chestnuts are good but it is not in season. Peeling chestnut is easy, make a shallow x cut on the humpback of the chestnuts, put 4-6 chestnuts in microwave oven, mic on high for 15 sec. the top will burst and peels easily. Note it is not cook yet.
I would freeze the extra for soup, chicken wings and vegetarian dishes etc.
The peeled chestnuts will oxidate when exposed to air, so place in sealed bag if not cook immediately. Raw chestnut cooks in 30-40 minutes. I much prefer the canned one. They are fuss free.
Vanilla pod can be found in upscale food store i.e. Meinhardt, Urban Fare, Capers etc.
Bacardi Gold is fine but Myer's is exceptional.

The cheap frozen chestnuts are treated with Sulphur and taste like waterchestnut,
the dried one taste like sawdust.
It is up to you whatever you like. That is how I do mine. Want Good quality Chinese chestnuts? go to TienJun. Not in Vancouver. We are talking about food, not patriotic
