Notes
- Toasting pecans - It's important to toast the pecans for this recipe. It's brings so much extra flavour. Be careful when toasting the pecans so you don't burn them. As soon as you can start to smell them toasting, they are done!
- Cooking maple syrup - Only heat this for about 2 minutes. Any longer and it will start to crystallise and become hard.
- Cook just before serving - This is a make and serve appetizer. It needs to be served as soon as it's assembled for best results.
