A wonderful treat for gift giving for the Holidays! I can’t think of a tastier way to share some holiday cheer. Enjoy! :) Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups honey |
1/4 cup water |
1 tbl lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste) |
1/2 cup chopped pistachios or almonds(optional if you do not want nuts) |
equipment: candy thermometer, parchment paper, wax paper |
Directions:
1. Line a square baking pan with parchment paper and grease the paper with some oil.
2. Place honey, water, lemon juice, and salt in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil.
3. Let boil over medium heat until it reaches hard ball stage, 260F on a candy thermometer (about 15-20 minutes).
4. Remove from the heat and quickly whip in the tahini.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
6. Sprinkle the pistachios over the surface.
7. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool and harden (a couple of hours)
8. Use a greased knife to cut the caramels into pieces. (if they start to get soft or sticky, quick-chill them in the freezer before continuing).
9. Wrap each piece in a square of wax paper and twist the ends to secure. Store in the refrigerator, as they tend to be a little melty at room temperature.
