Ingredients
SERVINGS: 4 Serving(s)
- ¼ pound, or 4 cups, mixed greens or fresh spinach
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup maple glazed pecans
- ¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups pecan halves
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
Preparation
Maple Glazed Pecans
Because it is easier to deal with more in the pot and pan, this recipe makes extra glazed pecans. But, no worries, you’ll make good use of them as a tasty snack.
Prepare a baking pan with a sheet of parchment.
Add the pecans, maple syrup and salt to a pot on the stove and cook at low heat stirring frequently.
When most of the syrup is absorbed (about 15 minutes) turn the pecans out onto the baking pan.
Broil for about 1½ minutes. They can burn quickly so watch carefully and adjust the time.
