The ingredients needed to make Wholesome sesame halva with honey:
- Take 300 g unhulled tahini (you can find it in all stores that sell organic products and in most supermarkets, if you don't, just try hulled tahini, I have only made it using unhulled)

The sesame seeds are ground up to an ultra-fine, smooth paste called tahini. The sugar is boiled with the soapwort extract until it thickens and takes on a nougat consistency. Well-known helva producers say the kneading is the most important stage and must be carried out carefully and thoroughly for the best results. To confirm that you are at the "soft ball" stage, drop a bit of the honey into a cup of cold water.
Instructions to make Wholesome sesame halva with honey:
- Place the tahini (sesame seeds paste) in a bowl and set it aside.
- Place the honey in a non-stick pan and let it boil for about 5-10 minutes so that most of its water evaporates and so it can set.
- You know that it is ready when you pour a drop of the boiling honey in a glass of cold water. If the drop stays firm and becomes a small ball, the honey is ready. Instead of a glass of water you can use a small empty place that you have left in the freezer for a while to freeze.
- As soon as it boils you set it aside for 1 minute and then add the lemon zest and mix.
- Empty all the honey with the lemon zest in the bowl with the tahini and mix well, either using two spoons or by hand with single-use gloves. If you have any extra ingredients, add those as well.
- When you are done thoroughly mixing it so that the mixture is well combined, place it on greaseproof paper, preferably in a bowl so that it gets a nice shape and set it aside to cool without covering it. It will get firmer as it cools.
- Ready! You can store it in your kitchen cupboard.
