1/3 cup Cream

1/2 pound Chestnuts (cooked, peeled)

Chop the bacon and fry it till done but not crispy.

Meanwhile, chop the chestnuts.

Comments

If your bacon doesn't have any fat on it, use the oil to fry it in; if your bacon is a streaky bacon or American bacon, you won't need the oil.

You can use tinned chestnuts; drain them first.
