Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.333 cup honey
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until melted.
Add the honey and brown sugar to the saucepan. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and begins to incorporate with the butter.
Pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
Add the chopped pecans to the saucepan, stirring to evenly coat the pecans with the glaze.
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over your dish of choice, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container for future use.
