I got a lot of fresh chestnuts.
I received advice from my college friend and culinary researcher Ayako Kamiya on what to do with them.

It's best to no overboil in order to taste the chestnut flavor.
With just light simmering, you can enjoy the texture.
This is freezable.
You can use gum syrup instead of sugar. Recipe by madamy

Steps

1

Boil the fresh chestnuts for 30-40 minutes. Cut in half with a knife and remove with a spoon.
2

You can do so if you'd like, but I prefer not to mash it smooth with the back of the spoon or a masher.
3

Put sugar and water in a pot and simmer until slightly reduced. Cool to the touch.
4

Add Steps 1 to 3, but don't do so all at once. Mix with a wooden spatula while checking how much you put in.
5

This is while mid-mixing.
6

It's just right when you can see the bottom of the pot.
7

Portion into bite sized pieces and squeeze together firmly with a clean cloth.
8

Gently wrap in 15x15cm plastic wrap and store.
