Halva

Halva refers to many types of dense, sweet confections, served across South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Balkans, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Malta and the Jewish world.

Bosnian cuisine is balanced between Western and Eastern influences. Halva is one of the traditional Bosnian desserts.

However, it means desserts or sweet. For example, halva is slightly gelatinous and made from grain flour, typically semolina. Here is a slightly different recipe for making Bosnian halva.

Ingredients:

½  cup sugar

1 good cup water

1 cup semolina

2 oz. Butter

1 tablespoon blanched chopped almonds.
