Tahin Pekmez

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"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."

• 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.
3. Use as a spread/dip with Turkish or Arabic bread, French bread, etc.

DH loved this! He ate three pitas spread with it. I found the flavor unusual but not at all bad, just different from anything I've tasted before. I'm sure I will be serving it often. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.

This is delicious. I used organic tahini. I will make this again as a snack or breakfast served with flat bread. Made for Ramadan Tag.
