For her birthday today, my daughter Jessi requested “no cake, just ice cream with topping.” Simple! I toasted some walnuts, and just as they reached the point of starting to brown, I added maple syrup we had just purchased from a local farm. (It’s sugaring time in PA!). Since the cast iron pan which I was using to toast the walnuts was nice and hot, the syrup immediately began to boil. I stirred constantly for a minute or so and the the topping thickened nicely. I served it hot over vanilla ice cream and the birthday girl was happy.
It looks yummy, I want some!!
Your photo makes it look so delicious! I am borrowing this idea! Buying local maple syrup is very special!
I made this last night for Ruth and I – we both loved it! I made one slight alteration – when the walnuts were almost finished toasting, I put sliced banana in with them, stirred for a minute, then added the maple syrup. WOW! We’ll be doing this one again. Thanks for the inspiration, Susan!
Wow! More ways to gain weight! I can’t wait to try that and I know Mike will love it, too.
