Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, light brown sugar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring well to combine.
Pour in the chopped walnuts or pecans and stir to evenly coat the nuts with the syrup mixture.
Cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the nuts to soften slightly and absorb the flavor.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, pancakes, or desserts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm gently before serving.
