Fall memories of roasted or baked chestnuts

I have early memories of chestnuts as I grew up. It was a tradition at Thanksgiving especially.  My mom would sometimes boil them, but other times she would make X slit in the middle of the chestnut and bake them.

Depending on amount I bake 425° for 13 minutes.  Adjust baking time to amount of chestnuts.  I was cautious because at $10.99 a lb. I didn’t want was to waste a bite…

                           We visited a  farmers market while in Italy.  This is a small example of how they are sold.  Baskets and baskets of them.  Unfortunately since we were traveling I couldn’t purchase any at this time.
