Briottet Crème de Châtaigne (Chestnut) Liqueurs 70 cl

Product Information

Angela Connolly on Fiona’s traditional elderflower cordial recipe Hello there, How do I find Angela's elderflower champagne on your site please? Fabien Tambolini, a former forest-worker from the Jura, had a tower of jars of crème de marron on sale.

To see the exact steps Chris took to make the orgeat, just scroll down to the end of the “recipe” box below. Much simpler and quicker is a chestnut liqueur – in this instance I used large imported ones – 30 of which are easier to peel than 100 tiny native specimens. So there you have it: adding gelatin (or perhaps any emulsifier) to your mix can have a definite – and delicious – effect in the final drink. I wanted to let you know that I have just peeled a batch for a stuffing, but this time I peeled them whilst still frozen and the outer skin is so brittle it comes off very easily. Most of the husks contain tiny wafers of empty skins and even the occasional decent sized nut is a third the size of its south European sisters.

While orgeat usually separates in 5-10 minutes, it took around three times as long to see the separation in ours. Once the desired flavour is reached, the chestnuts are removed and the liquid is fine strained to remove any solids. They are fine but do not compare with the rounded flavour of sweet chestnuts that you have prepared yourself. On a good day I can fill a couple of pockets, but mostly it will take a week to find enough to do anything with.

We’re here to help our industry learn and grow through sharing what we learn and creating great craft bar tools. While the forests were recently ravaged by fires, Collobrières was spared, thankfully, and the festival is going ahead after a break in 2020. Add the Briottet Crème de Chataigne, bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to the shaker.

Take chestnut flour; it's useful for making chestnut macaroons, florentines and, since it adds flavour instead of taking it away as flour tends to do, I use it in a roux when making sauces and soups. The person on Facebook was struggling because her staff was making a large volume of Orgeat but it separated very quickly and sometimes had a grainy texture. Every restaurant served the same: daube de sanglier – a rustic stew designed to address the local wild boar population’s destruction of the chestnut crop. We didn’t have Xantham gum in the house, but we did have powdered gelatin, another thing you can use as an emulsifier.

I saved the stew for later with dinner at the Hotel des Maures; the hotel-restaurant is the town’s most revered establishment, run by the same family since 1886. The second step begins with making demerara syrup and leaving it to cool before everything comes together. If you run out of puff remember that you can freeze shelled or unshelled chestnuts and come back to them another time. In mid to late October I can still be distracted from my many fungus forays by the sight of chestnuts on the forest floor.
