TASTĀING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR
ChestĀnuts roastĀing on an open fire, thatās the traĀdiĀtionĀal image of a treat on a snowy day. MarĀron glacesāāācanĀdied chestĀnutsāāāare the quinĀtesĀsenĀtial holĀiĀday treat. The nuts are cooked in syrup to about 73āāā75ĀŗC, givĀing them texĀture simĀiĀlar to a dried apriĀcot or prune, with a mild sweetĀness and nutĀtiĀness simĀiĀlar to sweet potatoes.
PREPAĀRAĀTION OR PAIRINGS
The traĀdiĀtionĀal way to eat marĀron glaces is straight out of the box, with a warm cup of mediĀum-bodĀied black tea at your side, like DarĀjeelĀing or our Gryphon Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea.
MarĀron glaces can be used in difĀferĀent desserts, too. Chop marĀron glaces into your sugĀar cookĀie dough or add them to your banana bread batĀter. If youād preĀfer someĀthing simĀpler after a decaĀdent dinĀner, place a few pieces on your vanilĀla ice cream. Up your cream cheese game with honĀey and canĀdied chestĀnuts on top, with crackĀers or toastĀed pita bread on the side. For canapes, load a crackĀer with Brie, a bit of pancetta or bacon, and place one marĀron glacĆ© right on top. FanĀcy a ChristĀmas mornĀing treat? Chop up some canĀdied chestĀnuts and sprinĀkle a bit of cinĀnaĀmon into your breakĀfast oatmeal.
A VERĀSAILLES TREAT
When cruĀsaders returned from the Holy Lands, they brought sugĀar back with them. Once they returned to southĀern France, cooks startĀed incorĀpoĀratĀing sugĀar into their dessertsāāāparĀticĀuĀlarĀly the local chestĀnuts. One of the earĀliĀest menĀtions of marĀron glaces comes from the court of Louis XIV in 16th-cenĀtuĀry France. The treat was popĀuĀlarĀized by the opuĀlent monarch and all his courtiers. They fell out of fashĀion shortĀly after the French RevĀoĀluĀtion but by the 1800s, marĀron glaces had reemerged as a comĀmerĀcialĀly availĀable treat.
Storage Instructions
