Notes
The syrup makes about 1 1/3 cup of syrup which yields about 10 servings if you use 2 tbsp per serving.
The syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Nutritional info is calculated without pecans and chestnuts as those get discarded. You don't have to toss them though. I like storing them in the fridge for up to a week and adding them to oatmeal, smoothie bowls, or snack on them. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
