- \ a saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and skim the thick foam\
- \ that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to low and simmer very gently, skimming\
- \ occasionally, for 30-40 min., or until the juice reduces to the consistency\
- \ of maple syrup. Let cool to room temperature. Use now or cover & refrigerate\
- \ for up to 3 weeks.\n\nTamari Pecans:\nPreheat oven to 350F. In a shallow bowl,\
- \ stir the tamari & molasses together to blend. Season with cayenne and salt,\
- \ to taste. Add the pecans and toss until they are coated. Transfer to a clean\
- \ towel and let drain briefly. Spread on a wire rack on a baking sheet and roast\
- \ for about 10 min., or until fairly dry & toasted. Remove from oven and cool\
- \ completely. Chop into ¼” pieces."
