Warning: It's not pretty.
You will need.
1 1/2 cups (350 ml) water
3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
3 tbs (45 ml) light corn syrup
1/2 cup (120 ml) lemon juice
(you can substitute lemon juice for a different flavor like orange juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, grape juice)

3 (.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cup (180 g) flour
1 1/2 cup (360 ml) cold water
1 tbs (15 ml) vanilla extract
a few drops of red food coloring (the recipe is a light yellow color naturally but I wanted it red like the movies)
3/4 cup (110 g) chopped pistachio nuts (optional)
confectioners' sugar for dusting
Bring 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the temperature reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. Set aside and keep hot.
Stir together lemon juice and water, sprinkle with gelatin, and set aside.
The liquid will absorb the gelatin and it will look a little something like this if you fold it over.
Hey, I was curious.
In a small bowl, dissolve flour in 1 1/2 cup cold water, then stir into hot syrup. Place over medium-low heat, and simmer, stirring gently, until very thick.
Remove syrup from heat, stir in lemon juice mixture, vanilla, food coloring and pistachios.
Sprinkle a 8x8-inch pan generously with confectioners' sugar.
Pour the Turkish delight into the pan, and let cool in a cool, dry place (not the refrigerator) until set, 3 to 4 hours.
When cool, sprinkle the top with another thick layer of powdered sugar. Cut into 1-inch squares, and coat each with confectioners' sugar. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
I am JUST now seeing this! It looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing and spending the time on it. I think I want some now!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! I'm so glad you saw it. Any other requests, please email me. I would love to give them a go.
ReplyDeleteI've tried this many time, and I just can't get it right... when I mix the flour and water it's not runny. After its ready it tastes just like the flour not the flavor I put in it. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteAmber, if I remember right my flour/ water ratio wasn't runny. So I think you are OK there. The taste of Turkish Delight is meant to be light in flavor but if you want a larger burst of yum by all means, add more lemon juice or use concentrate. It will have a larger kick.
