Production process of candied chestnuts: screening → washing → pre-frying → sugar coating → steaming.
1. Screening: Select chestnuts with regular fruit shape, uniform size, plump seeds, and no signs of disease or pest infestation as the raw material.
(Note: The chestnuts should be uniform in size; otherwise, it will affect the caramelization process.) 2. For sugar‑roasted chestnuts, use clean sand; the gravel should ideally be 3–4 centimeters in diameter.
2. Cleaning: Wash the selected chestnuts and gravel, then allow them to dry.
(Note: Before placing the chestnuts in the pot, they should be air-dried for half a day.)
3. Pre-frying: Place the dried gravel in a pan and heat it over a flame until the gravel reaches approximately 50°C. Then add fresh chestnuts to the pan, maintaining a chestnut-to-gravel ratio of 1:2. Use a metal spatula to continuously stir and rotate the gravel and chestnuts, ensuring even heating.
4. Add sugar: After the chestnuts have matured, add syrup at a ratio of approximately 1 part syrup to 60 parts chestnuts.
(Note: The diluted sugar should be added in 2–3 portions.)
5. Boiling: Once a translucent film has formed on the surface of the chestnuts, crack the shells firmly; the chestnut kernels will separate from the inner skin (the astringent husk), and the flesh will become tender, at which point you can begin cooking.
Pour the sand and chestnuts out of the pot, transfer them to a sieve for sorting, then return the gravel to the pot for repeated use.
