MAPLE WALNUT SUNDAE SAUCE



Maple Walnut Sundae Sauce image

A Moosewood recipe which is quick and easy. And great for those omega 3 healthy fats [at least that is what I tell myself...]

Provided by Missy Wombat

Categories     Sauces

Time 6m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3/4 cup walnut pieces, toasted
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Combine the toasted walnuts and the maple syrup. Heat if desired.
  • Spoon over icecream or frozen yoghurt.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than older walnuts. If you're using walnuts that have been sitting around for a while, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use pure maple syrup. Pure maple syrup has a richer, more complex flavor than pancake syrup or other sweeteners. If you don't have pure maple syrup, you can substitute another liquid sweetener, such as honey or agave nectar, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be simmered gently for just a few minutes, until it is thickened and flavorful. If you overcook the sauce, it will become thick and gloopy.
  • Use the sauce immediately. The sauce is best when it is freshly made. If you need to store the sauce, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Maple walnut sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and ice cream. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or chicken. No matter how you use it, maple walnut sauce is sure to please your taste buds.
