MAPLE AND BALSAMIC GLAZE LES FOUGERES

Oh so good. It works with any meat, from game to chicken and also as a base for a vinaigrette. I love it with steak, i just heat it with the pan juices and then drizzle it over and make sure there is enough on the side. Baste chicken with it, or simply glaze it after cooking. The vinaigrette base is terrific. I badgered this out of Charlie, the wonderful co owner with his gorgeous wife Jennifer of Les Fougeres. One of the recipe's missing from their award winning cookbook "a year at les fougeres". I wanted the proportions since sometimes you just want 2 tbs quickly. Also for those who cannot get to Quebec easily. Equal amounts of each and the adjust to your personal taste.

1 lb pecans
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar
sea salt

Select the freshest pecans. Fresh pecans will have a rich, buttery flavor and will be free of blemishes or cracks.
Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good quality balsamic vinegar will have a complex, slightly sweet flavor that will complement the pecans.
Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the pecans. If you overcrowd the pan, the pecans will not roast evenly.
Roast the pecans until they are fragrant and golden brown. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Stir the pecans frequently while roasting. This will help them to roast evenly.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing. This will help them to retain their flavor and texture.
