Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/3 cups honey
3/4 cup water
3 1/2 cups hulled sesame seeds
1 1/2 tsp lemon zest, chopped finely

Directions:

In a heavy pan, bring the honey and water to firm ball stage (130 degrees C/250 degrees F).
Take off the heat and stir in the sesame seeds and lemon zest.
On a flat marble surface (or metal trays moistened with water, or a layer of parchment) spread the mixture evenly with a spatula or knife (or try a rolling pin) to 1 cm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Before it cools, cut into squares (try a pizza cutter).
When it is completely cool, wrap the squares in waxed paper and store in a covered container.
