Mesir macunu

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over medium heat until you get a slightly thick syrup.
2. Add the honey and stir gently for 5 minutes without letting it boil too hard.
3. Stir in the steeped saffron and half of the spices, then mix to combine.
4. Lower the heat and let it thicken for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture coats the spoon.
5. Off the heat, add the remaining spices, the pistachios and the almonds, then mix well.
6. Let it cool completely: the paste should become firm and spreadable. Store it in an airtight jar.
