Ingredients

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon water
pinch salt
1 cup pecans or any other preferred nut

Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet layered with parchment paper (DO NOT USE WAX PAPER - nuts will stick to paper). Set aside.
In a medium skillet add brown sugar, maple syrup, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat until bubbly and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add nuts and continue to cook and stir until syrup thickens and reduces, about 2 minutes. Do not remove from stove top until almost all the liquid has reduced.
3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon water, pinch salt, 1 cup pecans
Immediately transfer nuts to the baking sheet and spread out with spoon. Candied nuts will harden as they cool.

Notes

How To Store

First, make sure the nuts are completely cooled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three weeks.

Alternatively, store nuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up six weeks.

Freeze candied nuts in an airtight container for up to three months.
