Let it rest.<\/li>\n<li>After another 24 hours, re-boil for a few minutes. Let it rest.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, carefully remove all the chestnuts from the syrup and lay them on a silicone sheet.<\/li>\n<li>Put into the oven at 70 degrees celsius for an hour or so or until the chestnuts are all &#8220;dry&#8221;. This is the very tricky part. You do not want the marrons to go to hard. So keep this as short as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Put them into conserves and make gifts of them&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Optional: Roll them into icing sugar. I use granular sugar, which I blitz with the coffer grinder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4261 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ozone.me.uk\/?attachment_id=4276'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/ozone.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/marrons3-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ozone.me.uk\/?attachment_id=4274'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/ozone.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/marrons1-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ozone.me.uk\/?attachment_id=4275'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/ozone.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/marrons2-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am in the process of making some candied chestnuts for Christmas gifts.
