Raw Sesame Honey Candy Recipe


Submitted by venix

Makes 40 servings


Candy for adults -- not too sweet, light lemon flavor, lovely slightly chewy texture.

Ingredients
2 cups sesame seeds
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
  1. With a high-speed blender, grind the sesame seeds as far as they will go. "Coach" the grinding by pushing the mixture into the blade.

  2. Add the oil, then the lemon juice, then the honey. Continue coaching it into a thick, smooth paste.

  3. Take the mixture out of the blender.

  4. Pour some whole sesame seeds (you still have some unblended, right?) into a dish or bowl.

  5. Grab about 1/2 tablespoon of the candy paste and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball around in the sesame seeds, then roll in your hands to press the sesame seeds into the ball.

  6. You should get around 40 or 50 balls from this recipe.
