OLD TIME SESAME SEED CANDY
Maw Maw Vincent made this specialty. She was a Cajun Lady from Lyons Point, La. We would go visit, and she would WHIP us up a batch. This recipe came from generations of long ago. Once the candy was made, she excitedly would hurry up and serve us a piece. She had a UNIQUE way. She would use no utensils. She would grab a section and just pull apart a serving size and LITTERALLY slam dunk it into our waiting plates.lol. We had to hold on tight to our plates not to drop the treat. When the name sesame seed is mentioned, we can't help but think of her.

SESAME CANDY
Here's another sweet that, like figs stuffed with almonds, is usually made around the holidays. It is simply a caramel syrup with sesame seeds stirred in, poured onto a counter to cool in a thin layer, and cut into bite-sized candies. A smooth, nonporous surface like marble, granite, or stainless steel is best for the cooling; avoid porous wooden surfaces or Formica.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spread the sesame seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, and place it in the oven. Toast the seeds until light golden, shaking them on the baking sheet occasionally, about 8 minutes. Let the seeds cool on the sheet.
- Put the sugar, honey, butter, and 2 teaspoons water in the saucepan, and set it over medium-low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon frequently as the butter melts and the sugar dissolves and the syrup comes to a boil. Simmer until the syrup is a deep-caramel color, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush a nonporous work surface (such as granite or stainless steel) with olive oil; coat the metal spatula with olive oil as well. When the caramel is done, turn off the heat, and stir in the sesame seeds, almonds, citrus zests, and cinnamon. Pour (and scrape) the molten candy from the pan onto the work surface, and quickly spread it into an even rectangular layer, about 1/2 inch thick. Allow it to cool and firm up for a minute or two, to firm up but not harden.
- With a serrated knife and a straight edge, slice the sheet of candy into 1-inch strips. Then cut diagonal slices 1 inch apart. Divide the strips into diamond-shaped pieces. With a metal spatula separate the pieces, and arrange them in a single layer, not touching, on trays lined with parchment or wax paper, and let them harden completely. Store them in an airtight container with parchment or wax paper between the layers.

- Pour the black sesame seeds into a large pan and toast them on medium-high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Because of their black color, it may be difficult to tell when the sesame seeds are done toasting. The sesame seeds usually release a faint aroma when they are ready. You can also see wisps of smoke coming from the sides of the pan. Turn off the heat and transfer the sesame seeds to a bowl.
- Next, toast the plain sesame seeds for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the toasted seeds to the bowl with the black sesame seeds. Mix the two types of seeds together.
- In a large stainless steel pan, add the oil, honey, and sugar over medium heat. Stir everything together and wait for the sugar to dissolve completely. This will take several minutes, and the syrup should be runny. Make sure to stir frequently to keep the sugar from burning.
