Jack McDavid of the Down Home Diner taught us how to make these little lovelies...
These nuts offer the perfect blend of crunchy spicy sweetness, and they make a splendid gift. Chuck them in a cello bag and tie securely with colorful ribbon. We emphasize that you tie them up securely so that you are not tempted to nibble them yourself. You might want to consider a padlock.
Maple Glazed Pecans
1 lb pecans
3 TBSP melted butter
5 TBSP maple syrup
1 TBSP dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
1 tsp kosher salt
Heat oven to 375. Toss pecans with butter, syrup, sugar, pepper and sage. Spread on parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and add salt. Toss again. Cool completely and enjoy as a decadent snack or use as garnish for salad or soup.
Thanks, Jack!
