Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, combine maple syrup, sugar, salt, and cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.

Raise heat to medium-high, and let cook until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla, butter, and pecans.

Let cool to room temperature before serving. Sauce keeps, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
