Choose chestnuts that are large, properly shaped and without cracks.

While peeling the chestnuts, carefully clean the inner membrane of the chestnuts. This allows them to absorb the syrup better.

Using the sugar and water ratio exactly (for example, 1 kg of sugar to 1 liter of water) makes the consistency of the sherbet ideal.

For chestnut candy, soak the chestnuts in water for 15 minutes.

Then put it in the pot and boil for 10 minutes. After the chestnuts are boiled, peel them with a knife.

Take sugar and water in a separate pot and let it boil. When it starts to boil, add the lemon. Boil for 5 more minutes and turn the heat down to low.

Add chestnuts and cook like this for 15-20 minutes. After cooling outside until it cools down, leave it in the syrup in the refrigerator for 1 night.
