There are many places in Vancouver you can buy French chestnut puree,
A. Bosa , La Grotta del Fromaggio, Mediterranean Deli, Ravioli Store, Angelina's,
.Famous Foods etc , but I found it way too sweet and runny. You are paying
for water.
Re somewhereintime: Thanks for the info. By the way, for the Vanilla Pod, can I use Vanilla Extract instead?
Re its_visa: I'll drop by and take a look. But I think I'll go with somewhereintime's receipe. Cuz I don't want my fillings to be very sweet. (By the way, did you get my PM Messages? Cuz I didn't get any of your replies at all.)
Re Sheep: I'm not making Chestnut Cake ar... I'm planning to make Chocolate Chestnut tarts.
Yes, you can use some decent Tahitian vanilla extract, or just leave it out since you have
gold Bacardi Rum in it.
For a classic Mont Blanc Tartlette, put the chestnut puree in potato ricer and squeeze out chestnut "spaghetti" on tartlettes, then top with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, maybe a little grated bittersweet chocolate. You can post the picture.

And they carry 3 different brands of chestnut puree, 1 from France, 1 from Italy and 1 from Germany. However the homemade one taste better after all.
