Vanilla, Maple, & Hickory Smoked Pecans

Ingredients

  • 1.5 tsp liquid hickory smoke
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 640g Maple syrup (grade B, if available)
  • 70g granulated sugar
  • 20oz pecans

Process

  • Preheat oven to 425F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
  • Combine sugar and syrup in a 4qt pot, add candy thermometer (if you have one)
    • the mixture will foam up when it begins boiling, and you will also need room to add, and toss, the nuts
  • Heat sugar until it reaches the soft crack stage (about 280F)
  • Add vanilla and hickory smoke and quickly mix
    • Be careful! This will cause a lot of sudden boiling, so be prepared to take a step back
  • Add pecans and mix to coat
  • Pour pecan & sugar mixture onto prepared cookie sheet and spread into an even layer
  • Bake pecans for 5 minutes, remove sheet & stir pecans, then bake for another 3-5 minutes (if things start burning, remove them earlier)
