Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup roasted and peeled chestnuts
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pralines and Cream Flavoring
Instructions
- Combine chestnuts and pecans in a saucepan and toast over medium heat. Toast the nuts for 3-5 minutes until they start to smell toasty. You don't want to burn them, so keep an eye on them and stir often so all the nuts are evenly toasted.
- Once the chestnuts and pecans smell toasty and fragrant, add in the water, sugars, and salt, and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the heat, add in the Pralines and Cream flavoring, and stir to combine.
- Pour the syrup through a strainer into a mason jar or heat proof container, catching the pecans and chestnuts inside the strainer. Pro tip: You can add the nuts to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes to make candied pecans/chestnuts.
- Let the Starbucks Chestnut Praline Syrup cool completely before transferring to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
