栗子蒙布朗

栗子蒙布朗的做法步骤

1. 第1步.

   新鲜栗子150g加适量的水放入电锅中，蒸煮一次将外壳剥去。剥出的栗子放入冷水60ml中，加黄砂糖120g煮到软即可。煮的时候小火，不要把栗子煮破相。成品为外表有糖浆光泽的栗子。（现成的熟栗煮不出效果，不入味，外面也很难持久地挂住糖浆。我做蒙布朗的时候不是栗子上市的季节，所以只是用现成的熟栗代替，最后在表面刷了一下syrup）

2. 第2步.

   如果你用的是新鲜的生栗子，那么：Using a knife,cut a X into the flat side of the chestnuts

3. 第3步.

   It is best to boil the chestnuts in smaller batches as they will peel much better when being removed fresh out of hot water

4. 第4步.

   Place part of the chestnuts in a non-reactive pot and cover the nuts completely in water

5. 第5步.

   Bring to a boil.Boil for 7-8 minutes and remove using a slotted spoon

6. 第6步.

   Peel away the outer skin and any brown skin on the chestnuts

7. 第7步.

   Repeat until all the nuts are peeled

8. 第8步.

   Place the peeled chestnuts in fresh water and bring to a boil

9. 第9步.

   Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15minutes

10. 第10步.

    The chestnuts should feel“al dente”at this stage.我用现成的熟栗，不做以上这些，但是把熟栗蒸上30分钟蒸软后再打

11. 第11步.

    Drain and place the chestnuts

12. 第12步.

    in a food processor打成细粉状。我是通过过筛来达到粉碎的目的

13. 第13步.

    Place the sugar in a small saucepan and add water;stir to a boil

14. 第14步.

    Once boiling brush away any sugar crystals stuck to the side of the pan with a clean brush dipped in water

15. 第15步.

    Any additional water added during this process has no effect on the final outcome

16. 第16步.

    Cook the sugar syrup WITHOUT stirring to 240°F (116°C)

17. 第17步.

    Remove from heat and mix in the chestnut mixture

18. 第18步.

    Stir for 5minutes on medium heat

19. 第19步.

    Add the vanilla and combine well

20. 第20步.

    Store in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.这一步要注意的是，糖浆一离火就要往细粉状的栗子里倒。可以一下子都倒进去，并一边倒一边打。如果糖浆冷了，就无法和栗子混合，也不能得到那细腻润滑的栗子膏了
