Roast Chestnuts

1 pound chestnuts

1/4 cup butter

salt to taste

1 pinch ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut a 1/2 inch crisscross on

the flat side of each nut. Be sure to cut through the shell to prevent the

nut from exploding. Place the nuts in a shallow baking pan and bake for 25

to 30 minutes. Allow to cool and peel off the shell. Place nuts in a skillet

with butter and sauté over high heat until the butter is melted and the

chestnuts are well coated. Place skillet in oven and roast until they are

golden on top. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon.
