Directions
Any Flavor Turkish Delight,This appealing candy is easy to make at home. Rosewater can be found at specialty food stores. When the sugar syrup boils, coat the inside of the saucepan with a brush dipped in water to prevent sugar crystals from forming.,Absolutely loved the taste, texture, smell and the shape of the delight in this recipe. Since my last visit to Grand Turkish Bazaar on 2019 before covid times, I was buying my delights from grandturkishbazaar.com But after that recipe, I see that how easy to make it at home on my own. Thank you!! :),Good basic recipe, but it’s temperamental. Often the result will be too soft and wet. At the last cooking, when the paste has reached the amber color, take a spoonful and dip it into ice water to cool. Test to see if it is as firm as you want, if not cook some more. Repeat until firm but tender.
