• Chestnuts:.
• Fresh: arrange in single layer in a wide skillet. Pour over broth and port. Liquid should be half way up pan. Cover and bring to simmer over med heat then reduce heat to med low and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Remove lid and simmer until liquid becomes a thick glaze about 10 to 15 mins more.
