Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than stale pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before glazing them. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup. The quality of the maple syrup you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the glaze.
  • Don't overcook the pecans. Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their crunchy texture.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy maple glazed pecans are an easy-to-make snack or side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful treat that everyone will love.
