Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped pecans Toast the pecans for added flavor.
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar Adjust for sweetness preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast the pecans by adding them to a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Carefully pour in the water and sugar into the saucepan with the toasted pecans and stir well.
  3. Turn up the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to simmer for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain out the pecans using a fine mesh strainer to reserve the liquid.
  5. Let the syrup cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a syrup bottle or mason jar.

Notes

Store pecan syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If the syrup thickens, gently heat it to return it to a pourable consistency. Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for flavor enhancement.
