Hi Eli hope your doing well? I made this halva last year and it turned out really well. I was wondering could I prepare this dessert a few days in advance or will it ruin it? Xx

Hi Eli,
This recipe looks wonderful and I’d like to make it today. Just a question, could I maybe put some cranberries instead of saltanas? Thank you!

Hi Golan

That actually sounds like it worked! Basically when the mix was getting thick you should have stopped, instead of continuing to stir. But I see that you’ve saved it quite nicely there!

Love

Eli

Hi Eli,
Thanks for the replay
This recepy is on the stove flame only, or I missed something…
I probably stirred it too much and the liquids run out. It became hard as stone after it got cool and impossible to clean the pot. So, I added water and boiled it and after it melted I got a great pudding:-)
