Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Add the chopped pecans and half the brown sugar to a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently, until pecans are slightly fragrant.
- Add the remaining sugar and all the water to the saucepan. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce and simmer over a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Remove from the heat and stir through vanilla extract (if using). Carefully strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl to remove the pecans. Reserve the pecans.
- Leave the syrup to cool for a few minutes before pouring into a syrup bottle or jar, seal and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- Store the reserved pecans in a sealed container to use on pancakes, on top of breakfast cereal or sprinkled on top of your iced coffee drinks.
Notes
- Don't have the heat too high when simmering the syrup as it may reduce too quickly or burn.
- The recipe makes around 1 cup of simple syrup.
