Poppy-Seed Candy

 

 

1 lb Poppy seeds

2 c Chopped nuts

2 c Honey

1/2 ts Powdered ginger

1/2 c Sugar

 

 

Have the poppy seeds ground for you when you buy them.

If this is not possible, grind them in a food chopper

or pound with a mortar and pestle or use a coffee

grinder. Cook together the honey and Sugar until

syrupy. Stir in the poppy seeds and cook until the

mixture is thick, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently.

(Drop a little on a wet surface; if it doesn't run, it

is thick enough.) Stir in the nuts and ginger. Moisten

hands; pat out mixture onot wet board to thickness of

about 1/2 inch. Let cool 5 minutes, then cut into

diamonds or squares with a sharp knife. When knife

sticks, Dip into Hot water. Cool completely and lift

from board with a spatula.
