Once you make and try this dip, the store bought versions will never be as satisfying.

1 pint jar of home canned chick peas, drained

Two large cloves of homegrown garlic

3 tablespoons sesame seed paste (tahini)

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/4 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp ground cumin

Salt to taste

Mash or purée chick peas and chopped garlic until smooth.

Stir in sesame seed paste and lemon juice.

Stir in seasonings.

Chill for a bit to blend flavors.

Enjoy with vegetables, fruit slices, chips and/or pita bread. Also makes a great sandwich spread.
