Autumn pleasures: chestnuts and apples

 There are many things that I like so much in Autumn and two of them are chestnuts and apples. The chestnuts, not like most people who like them roasted, I  prefer to eat it boiled. And I do eat them all Autumn long.

Apples. Not that I eat a lot of them raw. In this I am also unlike most people because I really prefer them in crumble. And if I eat apple crumble every Autumn!
So today I will make it again. If it will look nice maybe I will post a picture of it. One thing I know, I will find it very good to eat.

Chestnuts


There's one thing I long all year long: chestnuts. I like so much since I was a little girl in a land where there wasn't any. Planted there, I mean. It would go from Europe to Africa every time Christmas was going near.
And I ate lots and lots. The same now but even more. I can't wait to see them in shops, usualy expensive first, then going less expensive.


This year, after buying one kg or two each time, we decided to buy a sac of 5 kg.
We have been eating it in big amounts, mainly at saturdays, rosted and/boiled and seeing a movie, all the family together.
I must say my favorite are the boiled ones.


Some years ago, I ate a chestnut jam. I liked it so much I'm always planing to make it. I already looked for a recipe in the Internet and all, but I never made it.
Well, maybe this year.I will tell you if I make it.
