Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 2 cups of tahini.
- 2 cups of sesame seeds is about 10 oz.
- Like most nut butters, oil separation is normal after awhile and if it hasn’t been stirred in a while, the paste under the oil may be quite hard. Just give a good stir to mix oils again before using.

- If it smells rancid, then it's time to make more, but as with most nut butters, it will be smell bad before it's actually bad and dangerous to your health.
