Ingredients

• 2 cups pecans
• 1 cup walnut halves and pieces
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup corn syrup
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans and walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan occasionally and scraping bottom with a wooden spoon, until butter turns caramel-brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes.
3. Add corn syrup, maple syrup, orange zest and juice, vanilla, and salt, whisk to combine, and bring to a simmer. Add pecans and walnuts and continue to simmer until liquid is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm or cool.
4. Nuts can be made 5 days ahead; store in an airtight container and chill. Rewarm in a microwave for 45 seconds on high or in a saucepan over medium heat.
