\"Maple<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1 lb unsalted pecan halves (BJ’s sells them in 1 1\/2 lb bags)<\/p>\n

3 T unsalted butter<\/p>\n

4 T real maple syrup (Grade A, Dark Amber). Do NOT substitute.<\/p>\n

1 tsp dark brown sugar (packed)<\/p>\n

2 tsp light brown sugar (packed)<\/p>\n

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp Triple Sec or other orange flavored liqueur<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp sea salt<\/p>\n

\u00bc to \u00bd tsp Cayenne pepper (depends on level of spiciness you like)<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp crushed red pepper<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp dried rosemary<\/p>\n

1 tsp fresh finely chopped rosemary<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp dried thyme<\/p>\n

1 tsp fresh finely chopped thyme<\/p>\n

1 tsp freshly grated orange zest<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<\/p>\n

While oven is preheating, put nuts in large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n

Melt butter on low heat. Add brown sugars and maple syrup. Stir until blended.<\/p>\n

Remove from burner and add Triple Sec and vanilla. Pour mixture over nuts and toss until nuts are thoroughly coated.<\/p>\n

In small bowl, mix pumpkin pie spice, salt, cayenne and crushed red peppers together and sprinkle over nuts. Toss until thoroughly coated.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle herbs (dried and fresh rosemary and thyme) and orange zest over nuts and toss until coated.<\/p>\n

Cover baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Distribute nuts evenly over parchment paper so that there is a single layer of nuts. Make sure nuts are not piled on top of each other and have a little space.<\/p>\n

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until nuts are bubbling and lightly browned. If necessary, you can use a spatula to stir or move the nuts around a little during the baking process. DO NOT BURN THE NUTS!<\/p>\n

I have granite counter tops, so I leave the nuts on the parchment paper and slide the entire sheet onto the counter top to cool for at least 30-45 minutes. Once completely cooled, remove nuts from parchment paper and store in airtight container using wax paper between layers. Can be stored for several days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
