  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper into a heavy, medium-sized saucepan over medium high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until it's well combined, about 30 seconds
