Praline Syrup
Give your homemade syrup that nutty flavor by mixing in pecan pieces before canning.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dark corn syrup
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup pecan pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Prepare 4 half-pint canning jars by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing, and keeping the jars hot. This can be done in a dishwasher. Prepare lids according to manufacturers instructions.
- Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil one minute. Reduce heat; stir in pecans and vanilla; simmer 5 minutes. Carefully ladle hot syrup into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids on jars with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met – fingertip tight.
- Process in a boiling waterbath canner using the time indicated in the table below for your altitude.
