Maple Candied Pecans

Steps:

  1. Wash hands and surfaces.
  2. Preheat a small sauté pan over medium heat.
  3. Add pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt to the pan and stir well until pecans are evenly coated.
  4. Stir occasionally and cook on medium heat until the maple syrup comes to a low simmer (slow bubbles) about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid from the maple syrup evaporates. It will look slightly grainy.
  6. Immediately pour the pecans onto a flat surface (sheet pan or plate) and spread out evenly.
  7. Let cool completely. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Nueces pecanas confitadas con arce

  1. Lávese las manos y las superficies.
  2. Precaliente un sartén pequeño a fuego medio.
  3. Añade las nueces pecanas, el jarabe de arce, la canela y la sal a la sartén y revuelve bien hasta que las nueces pecanas estén bien cubiertas.
  4. Revuelve de vez en cuando y cocina a fuego medio hasta que el jarabe de arce hierva (burbujeando lentamente), unos 2-3 minutos.
  5. Reduce el fuego y continúa cocinando durante 10-15 minutos, revolviendo con frecuencia, hasta que se evapore la mayor parte del líquido del jarabe de arce. Tendrá una textura ligeramente granulada.
  6. Vierta inmediatamente las nueces pecanas sobre una superficie plana (bandeja o plato) y extiéndalas uniformemente.
  7. Deje enfriar completamente. Disfrute de inmediato o consérvelas en un recipiente hermético a temperatura ambiente hasta por dos semanas.
