Stefan asks:
>>candied Chestnuts? Maybe the sugar penetrates further tan I would
expect. At first thought this sounds like it would be a lot of meally
taste surrounded by a sweet coating. Do you boil or bake the
chestnuts first before cooking on the sugar syrup? Do you peel the
chestnuts first? Something to try the next time I see some chestnuts
in the store.<<
The chesnuts are roasted in the oven, shelled and the skins removed, then cooked in syrup. They are also stored in their syrup, making for a sticky sweet - Definately a "wet" sucket!
Oh, and a properly roasted chesnut is definately NOT meally! ;)
