Pastelli (Armenian Sesame and Honey Candies)<\/p>\nPastelli (Armenian Sesame and Honey Candies)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 cup sugar<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup water<\/p>\n
1 cup honey<\/p>\n
11\/2 C. sesame seeds<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Combine sugar, water and honey in a heavy pan. Stir occasionally over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and bring to the boil. Boil for about 15 minutes to the soft ball stage. (When a little is dropped into cold water it forms a soft ball.) If you have a candy thermometer, cook to 115\u00b0C (240\u00b0F). Stir in sesame seeds and return to the boil. Boil for 15 minutes until seeds turn golden and a little of the syrup dropped into water forms a hard ball, 130\u00b0C (265\u00b0F). Take care not to overcook as the sesame seeds will brown too much, spoiling the flavor. Pour into an oiled 18 x 28 cm (7 x 11 inch) slab cake pan, or on to an oiled marble slab, shaping it into a rectangle of that size with a spatula. (should be 1\/4 to 3\/8 inch thick). When almost cool, cut into squares, triangles or fingers. Cut again when completely cold<\/p>\n
