My Own Turkish Delight

They turned out really well. I added the slightest drop of green food coloring and orange extract, and also some cashew nuts at the end. Who knew these were a vegan dessert?

Turkish Delight Recipe
(I reccomend making double because this is a really small batch. But if its your first time, you may want to just stick to this tiny amount to make sure you can do it right. Read the entire recipe before attempting. Their are 3 lists of ingredients, not just the first set.)

3/4 cup COLD Water
1/4 cup Cornstarch
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar

1) Use a wisk to completely dissolve Cream of Tartar and Cornstarch in Cold water.
2) Place on Medium heat and continue stiring until mixture starts to bubble and thicken like glue.
3) Remove from heat and beat with the wisk until there are no lumps. Make sure you do a good job of it. It should be creamy and very smooth, and thick. Resembles lard ( I know that sounds bad)
4) Remove the glue mixture from the pan and set aside in a covered bowl.

1 cup granulated Sugar
1/4 Tbsp Lemon Juice
About 1/2 cup Water

1) Use only enough water to dissolve sugar. First boil the water, then add the sugar and lemon juice.
2)Cook on medium/low heat till the sugar mixture reaches the soft ball stage (240F).
3) Add in the glue mixture and beat in well with the wisk. This is also very crucial.
4) Cook for about 30 minutes to an hour, constantly stirring with the wisk.
5) The mixture should turn a golden brown color as the sugar carmelizes. When this happens, remove the mixture from the heat.

1 Tbsp Rosewater
Chopped Nuts
Food coloring
Any other Flavorings

1) Add all remaining ingredients.
2) Pour the mixture into a greased pan.
3) Refridgerate for a few hours.
4) Once the mixture has sent, place it on the cutting board and cut into desired squares.
5) Roll the squares in powdered sugar to coat.
