Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
- 7 Tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (I used dark brown sugar)
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
-
Place chopped pecans and 3 Tablespoons butter in a saucepan or skillet. Cook over medium heat 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, till toasted nicely. Be sure and keep an eye on the pecans so they don't burn.
-
In another large saucepan or skillet, melt the remaining butter.
-
Whisk in the brown sugar, flour and corn syrup until they are well blended. Cook on medium-high for 4-5 minutes stirring often, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Pour in the evaporated milk and add the pecan mixture. Stir till completely blended. Remove from heat.
-
Let sauce cool slightly, then pour it into clean jars or containers (Mason jars work great!)
-
This sauce needs to be kept refrigerated. It should last approximately 3 weeks in the refrigerator once you open it and a bit longer unopened. When you are ready to serve it, heat jar on low temperature approximately 15-20 seconds (microwave temps. vary) in microwave, or until pourable.
-
Be sure if you give this as a gift (the jars would look great with a pretty ribbon and tag), to include instructions as to keeping it refrigerated, and to reheat slightly in microwave when ready to serve. Enjoy!
