Pecan nuts (raw)1000 g

Maple syrup (Grade A, dark)80 ml

Sea salt8 g

Cayenne pepper2 g

Cinnamon powder3 g

Butter (melted)20 g

Instructions

Marinade

30 minutes

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix pecan nuts with maple syrup, melted butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Coat evenly and let rest for 30 minutes.

Smoking

1-1.5 hours

Preheat smoker to 120-135 °C. Spread nuts in a single layer on parchment paper or a grill mat. Add hickory and apple wood and smoke nuts for 1 to 1.5 hours. Turn every 20 minutes.

Cooling

20 minutes

Remove nuts from smoker and let them cool completely on a fresh piece of parchment paper. The glaze will become crispy and firm as it cools. Then store in an airtight container.

Pro Tip

Smoke nuts on parchment paper or a grill mat to prevent the maple syrup from dripping through the grate. Turn every 20 minutes to ensure even smoking.
