Summary: Yummy
Comment: Great stuff . . . my wife especially LOVES it given her Italian preference for tasty but not overly sweet. It was delivered almost as fast as I could have gotten to the store!

Summary: Addictively delicious
Comment: Once on a sailing trip in the Caribbean, we stopped for ice cream in Martinique, and I had a sundae with chesnut topping. Instantly smitten, I've been looking to find it ever since, so you can imagine how happy I was to finally be able to indulge that craving. It's sweet but (to me) not overly so, rich and thick and creamy like Nutella but (again to me) there's a hint of chestnut that makes it that much better. Tastes are subjective, but this one makes my ice cream practically a religious experience.

This delectable jam, also known as chestnut spread, goes by various names in French: confiture de marrons, confiture de chataignes, and crme de marrons. Practically unknown in the United States, it is a favorite in France. Made like any jam by cooking fruit with sugar and in this case vanilla, it is excellent on toast. And because of its thick and smooth texture, it also goes well with ice cream, yogurt, or fromage blanc. Some use it in place of chestnut pure to make a Mont Blanc. Of course, you may also find yourself eating straight from the jar! Once widespread in France, chestnut trees, or chtaigniers, are now becoming scarce as land has been given over to more profitable crops like grapes. Today the number of regions producing chestnuts has dwindled--Ardche, Corsica, and Limousin are the principal producers of chestnuts today.
