I created this for a co-worker who was leaving. I'd never heard of it before. It's pretty tasty.

Recipe

In a small skillet, saute over medium heat until lightly browned:

• 5/8c chopped, roasted pecans
• 2T butter

Stir in a medium sauce pan, bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until thick:

• 1/2c brown sugar
• 1/2c maple syrup
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2c half-and-half

Remove from heat and add:

• browned pecans
• 1/2c cream
• 1t vanilla

Let cool. Do the ice cream thing.
