Ingredients
- •1 cup sugar
- •⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
- •¼ cup tahini
- •2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- •⅔ cup heavy cream
- •¼ cup toasted sesame seeds
- •¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Bring sugar, cream of tartar, if using, and 3 tablespoons water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil until sugar begins to caramelize in spots. Stir with a heatproof spatula (this will help sugar cook evenly) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the color of honey, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramel is a deep amber color, about 5 minutes longer.
