Chestnuts & Jeropiga!
Call me old fashioned, but it's a while since I've roasted my chestnuts in front of an open fire. However, here in Central Portugal it appears to be a tradition that Chestnuts are roasted and then 'washed' down with a bottle of the locally made Jeropiga.
The Jeropiga is a little over 18% so you have to be careful that you don't over roast your nuts during the process;-)), a painful experience if ever there was one. If you don't have an open fire then a specially made terracotta jug (thanks Brian & Lorinda) is for roasting your chestnuts on the top on the stove.
