Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Make sure you have everything in front of you; this makes the process smoother, saving you from last-minute hunts through your pantry.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir it occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn. Once fully melted, it’s time to move to the next step.
Step 3: Mix the Sugars
- Once the butter is melted, add the dark brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. You want everything to blend well together; this is key for a silky syrup.
Step 4: Incorporate the Flavorings
- Next, add the pecan butter extract and vanilla extract into the mixture. Give it a good stir to combine all the ingredients evenly. The aroma should start to fill your kitchen – it’s absolutely delightful!
Step 5: Add Salt & Simmer
- Finally, add a pinch of sea salt. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes. You’re looking for a thickening of the syrup here. Keep stirring to avoid any sticky situations.
Step 6: Cool and Store
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let your syrup cool. Once it’s cooled, pour it into a glass jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes
- Don’t Rush the Butter Melting: Slow melting helps create the right texture.
- Stir Constantly: This ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
- Taste Before Storing: Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking before storing!
- Cool Completely: Always let it cool before sealing to prevent condensation inside the jar.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Since this syrup is simple, the quality of your extracts and butter can make a big difference in flavor!
