I ran across this while trying to find a basic roasted chestnuts recipe for Christmas. I followed the directions, slashing the X across the fat, rounded part of the chestnuts. (I accidentally cut through two of them, but that was OK.) I put them on a cookie sheet and baked at 375 for 25 minutes. As SOON as they came out, I carefully peeled the chestnuts one by one. The chestnuts were soft. I tried one before frying in butter, and it had an interesting if not plain flavor. I only put them in butter for about 3 minutes. The butter is mostly for flavor, NOT for cooking... that is important to know! I took them out, then sprinkled them with cinnamon and salt. I did NOT re-bake since they seemed pretty much done at that point. We all ate them up with gusto. What a unique holiday treat!

Great recipe! I agree with others: you need to add sugar and lemon juice to the berries before doing the rest.

Delicious! And to all you guys who feel like it needs tweaking: just add your favorite BBQ sauce at the end. Great recipe!

Basic 'n easy. This batter is nice & light. Thanks Gourmetfox!

It was good, but I'll bet the traditional cherry clafouti would be better. I'm going for cherries next time!

Unbelievably GOOD, especially with the marmalade dipping sauce. I made this for my family with home cut fries and deep fried those while I pan fried the shrimp. Deeee-LISH!

Very good recipe. I didn't have any white wine (we're red wine drinkers in this house!), so I added 2 Tbs. of lemon juice instead. Worked out perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!

Easy to prepare and a hit with a touch of honey.

Very good. Next time I'll marinade overnight for more ZIP!

Awesome! Just gotta make it without onions & green peppers next time (hubby doesn't like those). Otherwise, this is going down as a cornerstone recipe for our family.

I agree, adding a clove of garlic is essential. I used half & half (since I didn't have any cream on hand) and let the sun dried tomatoes sit in the heated sauce for 10 minutes before I warmed it back up & served it. Yum!

I used top quality sirloin steak in this recipe, so the meat was good, but I didn't think the au jus that it created was very good. If I were to make it again, I'd probably use something other than the condensed soup (not sure what though).

My picky Texan hubby LOVES this recipe, so we've finally got a family fried chicken. Thanks Millie!

Its nearly perfect. I think the honey makes it a bit too sweet, so I only add a tablespoon of it, and up the oregano and cayenne pepper another 1/4 tsp to add a little more zip.

I'll never buy store-bought taco seasoning in a packet again! This is perfect.

Perfectly simple and taste great. Try an alternative taste by substituting real vanilla extract for the almond, or even mint!

Perfectly simple and taste great.

Perfect! I don't change a thing & use Red Hot sauce to mix with the butter & spices. Its totally restaurant-style!

Followed the recipe as printed, except I did saute the onions in the butter. In the end, I did find it indeed a bit too sour creamy with a little too much cheese. It wasn't bad, but next time I make it, I'll take the advice of another reviewer and ease up on the cream and add a little less cheese.

This is what I call the "original" pumpkin pie. ALWAYS a hit and couldn't be easier to prepare.
