Sesame Candy Recipe







Sesame Candy Ingredients:

3 cup Honey
2 cup Sesame seeds
Peanut oil

 

Sesame Candy Preparation:

Note: Do not make this candy on a hot and humid day.

In a deep, medium-size saucepan slowly heat honey over medium-low heat,

using a heat diffuser, to the hard-crack stage (about 305 to 310 degrees
Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer).
Stir down often to prevent boiling over, about 45 minutes. Stir in
sesame seeds.
Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with peanut oil. Do not use

waxed paper. Pour the honey mixture onto it.
Set baking sheet on a cooling rack. When cooled, but not hard, score
into diamond shapes.
When cooled completely, remove candy and separate into pieces.
Warning: Be sure to alert friends and family to the danger of burning
themselves on the extremely hot caramelized sugar.

Comments: This is an Old World candy that will be very popular with
your children -- and it contains no processed sugar. Although it takes
some time to make, the effort is worth it.

"Public and private food in America has become eatable, here and there extremely good. Only the fried potatoes go unchanged, as deadly as before."
Luigi Barzini, 'O America' (1977)



“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”
Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
