Marrons Glaces - Candied Chestnuts 260 g

Candied chestnuts are without question a labor of love. The chestnuts are first sorted to eliminate those that are not perfectly round or smooth. They are then boiled, peeled by hand, and sorted once again. Finally, the chestnuts are cooked for two days in a rich vanilla syrup until the flavor seeps into the very heart of the chestnut. The round 200g tin from Clement Faugier contains about 11 candied chestnuts. Candied chestnuts, vacuum-packed, can · 200g (7 oz).
