[Sca-cooks] How do you reconstitute dried chestnuts?

[Huette von Ahrens]

Hi!

I am trying an old family stuffing recipe for the first time this coming thanksgiving.  It calls
for chestnuts.  The only chestnuts that I can find that aren't in their shells are dried
chestnuts.  Has anyone on this list worked with dried chestnuts?  How do I go about reconstituting
dried chestnuts?  I am assuming that they will need to be moist for the stuffing.  Help?
