Recipe Introduction


(Turkish Delight)


List of Ingredients




2 1/2 cups water
4 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup grape juice or orange juice
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 ounces chopped pistachios or almonds
A few drops food coloring (optional)
oil for pan, powdered sugar for dusting

Recipe



Bring the water to a boil, add the sugar and stir until thoroughly dissolved. Mix the cornstarch with the juice and cream of tartar. Gradually pour into the boiling syrup, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking (It takes a bit of trial and error to gauge when the mixture is ready. If it boils too long it will turn out hard like toffee, and if it is too soft it will not keep its shape when cool. It should feel soft but firm after cooling). Add food coloring and chopped nuts. Oil a 7 inch square cake pan with sides 1 to 1 1/2 inches high. Pour in the mixture and let stand until cool and set. Cut into 1inch squares. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
