The supermarket I shop at has them front and center on a display as you walk in the door. Of course there's the fact that this is a KOSHER Supermarket. LOL I'll have to try the recipe (which means sending it to my youngest daughter). I'm looking forward to reading that new series when it finally hits the shelves.

My grandmother was fond of "marrons glacees" which were chestnuts preserved in sugar syrup, and they came in a jar or can, but I thought they were kind of icky.
