STEP 1/14
If you wash the chestnuts and soak them in warm water, peeling becomes a little easier. Let it soak for about an hour.
STEP 2/14
Just peel off the chestnut.
(The process of peeling the outer skin is important because it repeats the boiling process. Try not to expose the yellow flesh if possible.)
STEP 3/14
Add baking soda and water to cover the night for half a dayI soak it for about a day.
STEP 4/14
Put half a day of chestnuts in a pot and boil over medium heat.
STEP 5/14
When foam rises, reduce heat and remove foam.
STEP 6/14
Boil over medium-low heat for another 20 minutes, then rinse in cold water.
In the picture, I washed it in cold water.
STEP 7/14
Repeat the process of re-pouring, boiling, and rinsing enough water to cover the night (gas heat is medium to medium heat)
For chestnuts with thick Yulpi, you can repeat it one or two more times.
Adjust it according to the condition of the night
STEP 8/14
When rinsing in cold water, make sure that the Yul-skin doesn't come off
Please wash it carefully.
STEP 9/14
You'll see the thick core of Yulpi that washed off the chestnut
Remove the thick seam with a toothpick.
STEP 10/14
After removing the seam, carefully rub the fine hairs in water to remove them.
It is recommended to be especially careful when removing fine hairs because the night's Yulpi is easy to peel off in the process of repeating about three times
STEP 11/14
Add enough water to cover the chestnuts, add raw sugar and salt, and boil over medium-low heat.
I used sugar cane sugar.
You can replace it with sugar.
STEP 12/14
When it boils up, reduce to low heat and simmer until water is reduced by half.
It takes about an hour and a half.
STEP 13/14
Add 2 tablespoons of rum 5 minutes before turning off the heat.
You can use wine or rice wine instead of rum
STEP 14/14
Put it in a sterilized empty bottle with syrup water.
Delicious Boni Balm is complete.
After a few days, the syrup gets cut into the inside, so it gets more moist
The chestnut color is also colored with syrup.
*It's usually good to put 40-60% of the peeled chestnut in sugar.
If you're going to keep it for a long time, I recommend adding more sugar than my recipe.
*I used raw sugar instead of sugar. If you use raw sugar, you can have a healthier sweet taste
It has its own sugar cane scent. If you don't like it, replace it with sugar.
