Ingredients
- 2 cup pecans
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- salt (a little)
- vanilla extract (a little bit)
Steps
- 1
Put the pecans and maple syrup in a saucepan. Add the salt and vanilla extract, then stir everything together with a silicone spatula.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the maple syrup is no longer runny and the pecans look dry and crystallized. Keep the heat moderate and allow the syrup to cook down gradually so it does not burn. The source notes that one batch took about 2½ minutes to begin thickening, but gives no definite total cooking time.
- 3
Transfer the pecans to a silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet and spread them out.
- 4
Let the pecans cool for 10–20 minutes before eating.
- 5
Optionally, while the pecans are still warm and not fully cooled, add cinnamon, cayenne pepper, or pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
The creator says the pecans can be used as a salad topping or added to banana bread cinnamon rolls. No quantities are given for the salt, vanilla extract, or optional spices. The transcript mentions both a saucepan and a skillet, but does not provide a precise final cooking time.
