Ingredients
- 2 cups pecans
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Begin by adding all ingredients to a shallow non-stick saucepan. Place on the stove over a medium heat stirring occasionally until the spices dissolve.
- Bring to a boil, continuing to stir as the mixture thickens. The syrup will become sticky and then begin to crystallise on the nuts.
- Once the syrup has reduced and crystallised on the nuts, tip these out onto parchment paper to cool for about half an hour.
- Add the nuts to the bowl of a food processor and blitz on high until a paste. Due to the nuts being cooked with a high syrup content, this should only take a few minutes.
- Decant into a bowl or jar and store in the refrigerator.
