Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup maple syrup (use grade B for the most flavor)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• coarse sea or kosher salt
• 2 heaping cups pecan halves

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium-sized heavy-duty saucepan melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Stirring often, bring to a simmer and cook 3 minutes.
• Add the pecans and stir to coat, cook 3 more minutes, stirring often.
• Dump them out onto the baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer.
• Bake 6 - 10 minutes, watching them closely because they can easily burn.
• Remove to a wire rack and allow them to cool and harden about ½ hour.
• Store tightly covered in a cool, dry place.
