Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Simmer and stir together. Add the pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt to a pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir the pecans constantly until the syrup has completely evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Dry the pecans. Turn the pecan mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Try to separate the nuts as much as possible. Let them cool and dry, at least 10 minutes.
- Break apart the pecans. After the mixture has dried, break apart any pecans that are sticking together. Serve or store.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent burning the syrup.
- Stir constantly to avoid the pecans sticking to the pot and burning.
- Allow pecans to cool completely to ensure they crisp up.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or nutmeg.
