Dry chestnuts - all methods and practical tips
Maroons belong to the autumn and winter time like the Amen for prayer. Count yourself among the lucky ones who can harvest sweet chestnuts right in the private garden, but do not know how to use the huge number of chestnuts? Then it is best to dry part of the chestnuts and preserve them for months or even years. Our guide explains step by step how to proceed.
Dry the chestnuts properly - step by step instructions
- Free the chestnuts from their brown skin and, if possible, from the hairy outer skin. For this purpose, simply cut the peel with a sharp vegetable knife. Then it is usually easy to get rid of. Place the chestnuts evenly - with a good distance between them - on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Place the tin with the chestnuts in a dry, warm and airy place. Let the chestnuts dry for at least two weeks. It is important to turn them daily.
