How to Make Pasteli Sesame Honey Candy
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) honey and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup (120g) sesame seeds to the boiling honey mixture. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, ensuring all seeds are coated.
- Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil again (about 5-7 minutes). The mixture will start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat. Remove and discard the lemon zest.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the hot sesame honey mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly into a thin, rectangular layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Allow the Pasteli to cool completely to room temperature. Then, refrigerate the Pasteli on the parchment paper for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, carefully lift the Pasteli from the parchment paper. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut the Pasteli into bite-sized pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy this delicious Greek treat!
