Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Pecans
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. Begin by lightly toasting the pecans to enhance their flavor. Place the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes, until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Avoid burning them. Remove from heat and chop coarsely once cooled.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, honey, and unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the cinnamon.
4. Add the toasted, chopped pecans to the syrup mixture and stir to incorporate.
5. Allow the syrup to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors and slightly thicken the texture. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for 5-10 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
7. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving, if needed.
