Tahin Pekmez

A traditional Turkish spread/dip. This has been referrred to as the 'peanut butter and jelly sandwich of Turkey'. I don't know how valid that statement is, but a PB&J sandwich-even if it's a Turkish version sounds good to me! Depending on the recipe source, sometimes the ratio of grape molasses to tahini is 1:1. Experiment.

• Ready In: 2 mins
• Yields: 3/4 cup

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  grape molasses
• 1⁄4 cup tahini (homemade is best!)

Directions

1. In a bowl combine the ingredients. Some recipes online indicate to mix well while others stir the ingredients together in a "swirly" manner (think of a marbled cake). I'll let you decide that.
2. Serve at room temperature.
