My "yard" is a 3/4 acre property but most of the acreage is on a very steep hill which resists being mowed. I grow some veggies on the hill, but most of it grows wild. There are delicious black raspberries, red raspberries, blackberries, apple trees, a pear tree and a black walnut tree.
In the spring, I remembered seeing what I thought were chestnut
hulls and made a mental note to look for them in the fall. Today,
we went up the hill in search of chestnuts. Boy, did we find chestnuts! We gathered them until the bag was heavy-- we
must have collected 10 pounds of chestnuts!
Then I drizzled them with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted them in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 min or so... and dipped them in an olive oil/butter with sage concoction I made.
Mmmmmm-- so good!
