Ingredients
  

For the Syrup
  • 1 cup Pecan halves Toasted for enhanced flavor
  • 1 cup Brown sugar Light brown sugar for milder taste
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Maple syrup Opt for pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup Salted butter or unsalted with salt adjustment
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract or maple extract for extra flavor

Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, add pecan halves and toast them over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant and lightly golden.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, maple syrup, and salted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once smooth, gently stir in the toasted pecans. Increase heat to bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a clean jar for storage.
