Marron Glace

The marron glace is a delicious autumn treat that is made of fresh chestnuts, coated in sugar syrup to make a candied nut. It is really sweet, but so good... the chestnut inside is soft and blends so well in the soft sugar coating. It's hard to stop eating them.And since we are on the theme of autumn sweets, here is a pear dessert that I had at the La Madernassa restaurant in Piemonte.
