Serving

2/3 cup whole pecans
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp strawberry jam sweetened with fruit juice, slightly warmed
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar

CARAMELIZED PECANS: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat and stir on low until the sugar is dissolved.
