- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until melted.
Step 2
Add the honey and brown sugar to the saucepan. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and begins to incorporate with the butter.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
Step 5
Add the chopped pecans to the saucepan, stirring to evenly coat the pecans with the glaze.
Step 6
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
