    Are you trying to eat healthier?

    Maple sugar coated nuts are to this day, still one of the best sellers at my parent’s farm, Lamothe’s Sugar House. We made them in a 60-quart steam kettle, spread them on sheet pans, and let them dry with nothing more than the pilot lights in the gas oven. And, can I tell you I’ve been spoiled by all the great commercial equipment I’ve been blessed to use over the years?! The kitchen in our sugarhouse was my home-schooled culinary center. It’s what’s inspired so many great recipes, including my Blueberry Strawberry Salad with Candied Pecans.

    You can make your own candied pecans at home or source them in your local grocer. They’re relatively easy to make, and will store for about six months in a glass canning jar. I topped this flavorful salad with one of my best ever marinates, Brown Sugar Mustard Grilled Chicken.

      Love everything about this recipe!
      So jealous of your easy access to a commercial kitchen and fresh maple syrup! This Ohio girl w/ Vermont roots misses that Vermont Maple Syrup! (Ohio has plenty and it’s close to the flavor I remember)
