  1. I whipped this up to serve on Saltine crackers for my kids' snack. They loved it! I used 2 tablespoons of tahini and 2 tsp. honey. Thank you for sharing this easy recipe.
     
  2. I loved this, but I didn't have it on toast. I dipped celery sticks into it so I could pretend it was healthier. ;-) I used equal parts honey and tahini, but I'd cut back on the honey next time, as it was really sweet. I love how the honey thickened up the tahini so that this wasn't runny like I was afraid it might be. I used a raw organic sunflower honey for this, and it'll be fun to see how different honeys change the flavor. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. WOW, what a winning combination! Loved this! The honey complements the earthy sesame flavour from the tahini perfectly. Im sure this would also be great with other things mixed in (like e.g. coconut or carob powder or choc chips or fruit). I made the recipe using the lesser amount of tahini and only 1 ts of honey. That was sweet enough for my taste.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, MarraMamba. Ill surely make it again!<br/>Made and reviewed for the Honey Tag Game in the Spain/Portugal Forum February 2012.
     
  4. Here's a very nice addition to my finger food counter from now on! Easy to make, & you're able to change the taste by using a lighter, milder honey or a darker, more intenst one! A great keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Gimme 5 tag]
     
  5. DD (toddler) and I dip bananas in this. I use local honey and organic tahini. I use less honey than tahini but I think tahinis differ in bitterness. I'm sure it's good on bread, kind of like peanut butter.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
