Sesame candy

- 1 Comment
I put a star on this recipe long time ago in Google Reader, but only Tasty weeks encouraged me to try to make my first candy 🙂 They were delicious – disappeared in a few minutes (maybe because I make only a quarter the recipe). Nice! 🙂 Tomorrow I have to look for another candy recipe. And meanwhile I can say that these candies are like kozinaki with a mild flavour of honey. And they are not very hard (in a fridge they became crunchy).
Sesame candy
Time needed:
Yields: 30 candies
Calories: 85 kcal / candy
Ingredients:
1 cup = 237 ml
- 2 cups sesame seeds
- 2 tbsps. black sesame seeds (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (I used white sugar)
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
- Prepare two baking sheets (The source recommends to butter them, but I didn’t do that).
- In a large skillet toast the sesame seeds on medium heat until golden and aromatic (Caution, they get burned very quickly if not stirring).If using both light and dark sesame seeds, toast them separately so the changing color is more obvious. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, mix the remaining ingredients.
- Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring continuously, then let boil for 2 minutes, still stirring.
- Remove from heat. Working quickly, stir seeds into the sugar mixture.
- Transfer immediately to the baking sheet, cover with another baking sheet then using rolling pin make thin, even pieces. Let cool a little bit.
- Take off the top baking sheet and cut with a knife in desired shape candies.
- Let cool completely.
- Store in layers separated by wax paper.
- Enjoy!

Gingerbread cookies
This gingerbread cookies I baked two times and the second time I made them thinner – these were much more better 😉 It’s sad that ducks, elephants, mice and butterflies didn’t survived till photo session.. By the way, I don’t know why but butterflies were most popular 🙂 Maybe because they were very colourful… This is the last entry about Christmas baking. So what now? Will be waiting for the spring? 🙂
Sourdough rye bread
I bake this bread more then a year. But as always, the best recipes hardly reach the blog 🙂 Because I bake it very often and know all ingredients in my head. This bread is perfect. Really 🙂 After founding this bread I don’t buy any bread at store. Or maybe just in big gatherings when I don’t have time to bake more of this bread. 🙂
Granola with honey
Granola that smells honey, but very crunchy and addictive like sunflowers. Everytime I prepare it, half of it I eat alone – without milk, just like crunchy cookies. Even my hubby loved it, just honey is not recommended for him, so next time I will prepare it with golden syrup instead of honey. And I like this granola without any mix-ins!

Pumpkin granola with chocolate chunks
Usually I make granola in summer, when it’s hot outside and no one wants to eat porridge. But when last week I tried new recipe for granola bars and I had only crumbs, my kids ate it just like usual granola for breakfast. And then they asked to make more granola. So I make my favourite at this moment granola. Kids’ favourite granola will have to wait a little bit. They enjoy this granola too, just for them I had to add chocolate with more sugar.
