Brussels Sprouts & Chestnuts

Jazzed up Brussels Sprouts & Chestnuts with pecans, and dried unsweetened cranberries are so good!

Every time I make this dish my family goes gaga over it.

French chestnuts are common in Europe and available in the US typically from September through February.

I like to use them in dishes during the holidays.

You’ll find them in the grocery section in the canned aisle; however, chestnuts are usually packaged in a clear glass jar.

Brussels Sprouts & Chestnuts goes very well with turkey and chicken.

Enjoy!
