Sweet Dukkah: Me, My Crystallized Honey and The TSA or; The TSA Took My Crystallized Honey Away
Some of you may remember a few months back that I posted a recipe for the Egyptian snack dukkah. At that time I also had plans for a sweet version to be posted at a later date. Well dear readers that date is today.
I wanted to base the recipe (loosely) on the flavors of Turkish Delight, but had a few obstacles in bringing my idea to fruition. First off, it was winter on Long Island, so fresh organic rose petals were nowhere to be found. Second, sugared rose petals were either insanely expensive or unavailable. I ended up finding them online at Market Hall Foods out of Oakland for a fraction of the price of most places. With the rose petal hurdle out of the way all I had to do was find a way to make honey into crystals.
