Adding sugar all at once can cause the chestnuts to shrink and break, so the trick to making a beautiful piece is to add them in a few sessions and then add them little by little. The amount of sugar that makes chestnuts float in the pot is considered to be just right, but you can just add the amount of sugar you like while tasting it.

How to make it

Peel the chestnuts and soak them in water filled with alum.

Put chestnuts and beak beef fruit wrapped in a cloth in a pot and pour plenty of water over it. Place over medium heat, boil for about 10 minutes, then remove the scum and boil for another 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat, rinse with running water, then return the chestnuts to the cleaned pot, cover with just a little more water than you would expect to soak, and place on the heat.

Once it's boiling, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and keep the heat low enough to cause small bubbles to appear. Repeat around 8 times in total, adding 2 tablespoons of sugar for every 5 minutes. Along the way, cover with a cooking sheet and simmer it to improve the flavor.
