Turkish Delight

Bambam

Does anyone have a recipe for Turkish Delight? I usually have a box for Christmas but fancied making my own this year but I don't have a clue.

Many thanks.

Hi bambam,

I did a quick google and there are quite a few recipes to choose from.

Thank you, Pink. Never had Turkish Delight with nuts in. Might give it a go. Had to laugh at some of the pages. Recipes for TD with adverts on losing weight. What! With all that sugar?

You can also buy at the chemist. Just ask at the counter and they make it up for you..........well they do at my local one.

Hi, thanks to everyone for posting. I'm just taking a break from making the Turkish Delight. I'm at the stage where it has to simmer for about 1 hour now. Must say it doesn't look much like TD, more like wallpaper paste at the moment:eek: . Hope I haven't done anything wrong. Will let you know how it turns out tomorrow, after its had its overnight rest. Must go and give it another stir.
