List of Ingredients
2 cups (500 ml) sesame seeds*
1/2 cup (125 ml) honey
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground ginger
1/2 tsp (2 ml) cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 ml) allspice
* Sesame seeds are quite expensive when purchased in small jars in the spice section of your supermarket, so I suggest buying them in bulk at a health food store or Middle Eastern specialty shop.
Recipe
Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until aromatic and lightly browned. Process in batches in a food processor to make a coarse paste - some whole seeds are acceptable. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pat into a layer about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick on a lightly greased baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. Slice into squares or rectangles and wrap individually to prevent sticking. Makes 10 to 20 servings, depending on size.
