Theoretical Sesame Seed Recipe

Okay, all you raw chefs out there, I need help with this recipe I'm thinking of,

so I'm going to ask a couple of questions:

 

When you soak flax seeds, you get kind of a gooey, thick paste-like substance.

Do you get the same results when you soak sesame seeds?

 

The sesame-honey candies that I am so very, very fond of have sesame seeds,

honey, sugar/sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. Not good. If I soak sesame

seeds, then add honey (how much?), then dehydrate the mix (how long?), would I

get something like the candy? Would I need to add any other ingredients to get

the correct consistency? Actually, I am thinking of adding ginger, but for

flavor rather than consistency. It just sounds yummy to me!

 

So, what I'm thinking for this recipe (and I'm kinda working off Alissa Cohen's

flax seed cracker recipe, here):

 

2 cups of sesame seeds, soaked

honey (but how much? 1/2 cup? 1 cup? 1 tablespoon???)

ginger (1 tablespoon, maybe)

1/2 lemon, juiced ('cause that's what's in the flax crackers, and I'm not

entirely sure it's for flavor)

 

What do you think? You think it will work?

I wouldn't use honey..I would use Agave as a sweetener
