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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
4. Add the toasted, chopped pecans to the syrup mixture and stir to incorporate.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for 5-10 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 7
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.
