Ingredients

• 2 ounces thick, robust maple syrup (organic is preferred)
• 1/4 cup butter
• Pinch salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (ground)
• 1/2 lb. pecan halves, already toasted
• Leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs

Instructions

1. In a pan, warm up half of the maple syrup over medium heat. Drop in the butter, add a pinch of salt, some black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
2. Toss in the pecans and stir for about 3 minutes, allowing the nuts to start sticking together. Pour in the rest of the maple syrup and keep cooking until the mixture starts to turn golden and caramelized.
3. Sprinkle rosemary leaves into the mix and stir to coat. Remove from the heat immediately. Spread out to cool on a silpat or nonstick baking mat.
