Recipe Introduction


Note: This recipe can easily be
doubled for a larger crowd, but use a 12-inch skillet instead.



List of Ingredients




Halva Ingredients:
1 cup farina (Cream of Wheat may be used)
½ stick unsalted butter (4 Tbsp.)
½ cup lightly toasted pine nuts or chopped pecans or chopped
walnuts

Simple Syrup Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Recipe




Prepare simple syrup:
Bring sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat, add lemon
juice, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Keep syrup warm until ready to use.

Directions:
Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet, over medium heat.
Allow butter to brown a little – do not let it burn!
Add the farina (or Cream of Wheat), stirring so it absorbs
the butter and starts to turn a light brown. Slowly ladle-in the warm syrup,
stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Add nuts; continue to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring so
nuts are evenly distributed. Remove skillet from heat; cover the pan and allow rest to for 30 minutes.
Serve warm with cinnamon sprinkled on top, if desired.
