Time 25m

Yield about 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 loaf challah bread loaf (about 1.6 pounds or 10 thick slices)
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
3/4 cup maple syrup
Couple dashes ground cinnamon
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Slice the bread into 1/2-inch slices and remove crusts. Use a glass or a biscuit cutter to cut out circles from the middles.
Melt about a half a stick of butter in small skillet. Spoon off all the milky solids from the top to clarify the butter.
In another large skillet, add about half of the clarified butter and brown the bread rounds on each side, adding more butter as needed. Keep finished slices warm in the oven while the remaining slices are prepared, repeating the process.
Crush the toasted pecans and heat with the maple syrup and cinnamon in a small saucepan until steaming.
Stack the browned bread slices, 3 high, alternating with a spoonful of hot pecan maple syrup between each layer.
Top stacks with scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle pecan maple syrup on top.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 kg pumpkin (kent skin on cut into wedges)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/3 cup pecan nuts
sour cream (to serve)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 210C (190C fan forced).
Lightly grease a large roasting pan.
Add pumpkin to pan and season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and half the syrup and roast for 20 minutes or until jut tender and lightly browned.
Combine pecans and remaining syrup in a bowl.
Add pecan mixture to pumpkin mixture and roast for 10 minutes or until pumpkin is tender.
Serve with the sour cream.
TIP - you could add 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves with the oil in step 3.

Tips:

Choose the right pecans. Look for fresh, plump pecans that are free of blemishes and cracks. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
Use pure maple syrup. Pure maple syrup is made from 100% maple sap and has a rich, complex flavor. Avoid pancake syrup or other maple-flavored syrups, which contain artificial ingredients.
Toast the pecans before coating them in maple syrup. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Be careful not to overcook the maple syrup. If you cook it too long, it will become thick and chewy. Cook it just until it reaches a light amber color.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Maple syrup pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just to enjoy at home. With a few simple ingredients and a bit of time, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love.
