Sweet Sesame Brittle
makes about 40 pieces
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup raw sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup almonds
- pinch of salt
Procedure
Place all the ingredients in a non-stick sauté pan, and heat over medium heat. The mixture will begin to bubble, and darken. Stir nearly continuously.
When the sesame seeds are deeply toasted and the water-sugar mixture is a deep caramel color, pour the hot sesame crunch mixture on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a Silpat. Use a silicone spatula to smooth the mixture into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Allow to cool completely.
Turn the block onto a cutting board, and cut into strips, and then again into little rectangles, or whatever shape you like. Store in an airtight container.
