Step:
Remove the shell from the chestnuts and boil them -without overboiling them too much.
Remove the skin.

Allow it to cool and place the chestnuts in the syrup overnight to absorb it.
On the next day boil for 5 minutes.
Set them aside to cool once more, then remove the chestnuts from the syrup and add the lemon juice to it.
Boil until it thickens.
Put the chesnuts back into the syrup and set them aside for 2-3 hours to absorb it.
