Ingredients

2 tbsp maple sugar

1 tbsp water

85g pecans

pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation

Place 2 tbsp maple sugar in a small pan with 1 tbsp water. Heat for 2 mins, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves.

Tip in 85g pecans and cook until the sugar turns golden brown and coats the nuts. Sprinkle over a pinch cayenne pepper, season with a little salt, then turn out onto baking paper, separating out nuts as much as you can.

Leave to cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
