Italian-inspired Marroni al Liquore, or Chestnuts in Spirits, is two gifts in one: spoon the chestnuts over ice cream and enjoy the liqueur in coffee or as an after-dinner drink.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 whole allspice
  • 2 cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 half vanilla beans, split lengthwise
  • 2-1/2 cups prepared chestnuts
  • 1 bottle brandy

Preparation

In wide saucepan, bring sugar, water, allspice, cloves, bay leaves and vanilla bean to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in chestnuts; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Stir in brandy and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Skim off any foam. Discard allspice, cloves, bay leaves and vanilla bean. Using slotted spoon, divide chestnuts among six 1-cup (250 mL) canning jars. Pour syrup over top. Seal jars with lids; let stand in cool dark place for 2 weeks before using. (Make-ahead: Store for up to 2 months.)
