Kastanien in Zuckersirup-Kestane sekeri

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Using a sharp knife, score an 'X' on the flat side of each chestnut to prevent them from bursting while cooking.

Place the scored chestnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the shells start to peel back.

Remove the chestnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly before peeling off the shells and inner skins.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil.

Add the peeled chestnuts to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the syrup.

Continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens and caramelizes around the chestnuts.

Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and well combined.

Let the caramelized chestnuts cool slightly before serving.
