It really depends on the consistency. If you find it too thick, add more milk. The milk also helps to sweeten the overall flavor of the puree. Hope this answers your question. Best of luck! Hi Nora,

Here is a link to a Boston blog that has some great pictures of both the "Sweet Chestnut - EDIBLE" and the "Horse Chestnut - NOT EDIBLE" so that you can easily identify the ones you harvest :) http://tree-species.blogspot.com/2009...

It definitely had rum and whipped cream. Can anyone tell me how much rum would be used and I assume it would be mixed into the puree with the whipped cream just used on the top. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'll be going back to Balatron for more but it's not that close to my home. I had Chestnut Puree for the first time this week at a Hungarian Restaurant

Adding the rum and vanilla gives it a nice flavor. It's best served chilled when preparing it as a dessert. I hope it works out for you! Adding the rum and vanilla gives it a nice flavor.
