Recipe ingredients:

This sweet dipping sauce is made with maple syrup, finely chopped toasted pecans and mayonnaise. The combination of mayo and maple syrup may sound odd at first but it works surprisingly well. The sweetness of the syrup counteracts the slight tang of the mayonnaise and makes for a really delicious and creamy sauce.
