2133.0. "Marron glacees" by TAVIS::JUAN () Sun Dec 03 1989 09:48

    I would like to get a recipe for "marron glacees".

    It's been a very long time since I had them at the "Lion d'Or" in
    Buenos Aires.

    Thanks a lot

	I looked up the recipe last night and wrote a few notes. For 1k raw chestnuts. Slit skin, cover with cold water and boil for 2 minutes. Remove a few at a time and peel. Cover peeled chestnuts with cold water and simmer gently until tender. Meanwhile prepare syrup - 1lb sugar (16oz- UK), 1lb glucose, 300ml water in saucepan and bring to boil. Add drained chestnuts, cover and leave overnight in a warm place. Next day uncover, bring to the boil and and again leave overnight. Next day, add 8 drops vanilla essence, bring to boil, allow to cool a little, lift out chestnuts and drain on a wire rack. I've not tried this - I think you have to be careful that the nuts don't break up too much.
