Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups sugar

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup pistachios

1 cup coconut

1/4 cup raisins

Method:

Put the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over the heat... Stir the ingredients quickly until the sugar dissolves...

Before it starts to boil, and if you notice any sugar crystals on the sides of the saucepan, wipe them away with a damp paper towel to prevent the syrup from crystallizing...

In a second saucepan, toast 1 cup of sesame seeds with a little pistachio, and leave them warm aside. When the syrup boils, there is no need to stir at all; leave it over medium heat for about 13 minutes, or, if you have a cooking thermometer, until it reaches the stage known in cooking as

Soft Ball

This is the temperature of boiling sugar at which, if we drop a spoonful into cold water, it forms something like a soft ball. It is specifically 275 F if you have a candy thermometer.

Pour the appropriate amount of syrup over the sesame and pistachios...

With the remaining syrup, add a little coconut and raisins.

Place the sesame mixture and the coconut mixture on parchment paper, roll it out with a rolling pin, and wait until it cools, then cut it and decorate as desired.
