Marron Glacé
Marron Glacé is a confectionery composed of a chestnut glazed in a sugar syrup with a vanilla aroma.
Ingredients
-
500 grams of Portuguese chestnut (from 10 to 15 medium chestnuts)
-
1.5 l of water
Preparation Method
- Make a sugar syrup, in which the chestnut will be dipped. The syrup should be white, at the yarn point.
- When the syrup is ready, add the vanilla. The syrup will change to a yellowish color.
- The next step is to soak the chestnuts. This procedure must be repeated four times on four different days.
- On the first day, the chestnuts should be immersed in the sugar syrup for one minute.
- The chestnuts should dry overnight on a sheet of parchment paper.
- The process must be repeated three more times – the chestnuts must stay between 3 and 4 minutes immersed in the sugar syrup with vanilla.
- Wait one more day and you’re done.
Chef Tip:
The chef’s suggestion is to serve with ice cream of your choice.
