Ingredients Serving: 6

300 grams light tahini paste mixed properly with the excess oil
300 grams good quality clear honey
150 grams pistachio nuts lightly roasted + 1 tbsp finely chopped for garnishing
2 tbsp edible rose petals for garnishing
1/2 tsp rose extract
Sugar thermometer (optional)

Instructions

Line the base and sides of a loaf tin with baking parchment.
In a heavy base pan pour honey and start heating on a high heat. If using thermometer place in the pan now.
Keep stirring and let it simmer until the thermometer reaches 260 F or Firm Ball stage, switch off the heat. Leave it to cool for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile place tahini paste in another pan and heat gently, keep stirring for 3 minutes. Add rose extract, 150 gram nuts and warm tahini in to the hot honey syrup. Combine well and pour the halva mixture in to the loaf tin.
Let it cool completely at room temperature. Seal the loaf tin with more parchment so moisture stays out and place in the fridge for 36 hours to allow small sugar crystals that give halva distinctive flavour and texture time to develop.
Cut with very sharp knife into pieces while halva is still cold, but serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
