I made this for Thanksgiving this year. I cut the amount in half and used 8 oz vacuum packed chestnuts that I bought from Trader Joe's. I used raisin instead of currant and regular parsley instead of flat leaf parsley. I also didin't have fresh sage, but it turned out great. Everybody raved about it! One of the guests said stuffing was not usually her favorite Thanksgiving dish but this one was an exception. The ladies all asked for the recipe. Thank you for posting it!
