One of the nicest things about boiling our own maple syrup is that we have plenty for cool treats like these glazed pecans. Lily made them, put them out, and they were gone. Gone.

2-3 cups pecans
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup sugar
Roast the pecans on a baking sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Let them cool while you're making the glaze.
Put the butter and syrup in a medium pan and bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and add the nuts. Stir to coat the nuts. Add the sugar. Stir to coat. Spread them out to finish cooling and dry a bit.
