Turkish Delight

culpepper

If you have a pressure cooker ,the pan part will be heavy enough to use as a heavy saucepan.

Thanks Bambam, i did make it and thought it was just OK, rest of family thought it tasted like perfume, and I couldn't see how to stop it sweating after it was packaged.

The rosewater gives it that perfumed taste, but that's what TD tastes like. There is another thread on here (sorry don't know how to link) called OS Style homemade sweets/toffee/fudge. Post #2 has another TD recipe that looks a little easier as it uses gelatine to set it. The original recipe I was given here is quite hard work, so may try the other one before Christmas. I too had a problem with mine sweating and I really don't know how to combat it apart from covering the TD in chocolate

I've made some turkish delight, which is lovely....but does anyone know how to stop it from sweating??
It was stone cold when I covered it in the icing suger/cornflour mix, but within minutes it looked horrible as the moisture began to leak through and made the outside of it look awful.
Any ideas?

sorry i cant help with your problem but could you let me know how to make it and whether it is easy or not? several family members may be getting it for xmas then!

If you google turkish delight, there are several recipes (all basically the same though)
There is also a recipe on this board, if you type turkish delight into the search bar.
It is quite easy to make...although lots and lots of stirring involved!!
Just need to know why it looks so bad???

Oh, I thought this thread was about something entirely different.

It isn't a small coating of icing sugar and cornflour you need, really the best idea is to drop the cubes in and roll them around in it... leave them a while, repeat... leave and repeat. It's just moisture leaking out, it'll stop with a couple of coats.

I've tried doing this, but they still look really bad, as the icing sugar/cornflour mix is moist and then just flakes off.
Tastes okay, but I was going to make some for my Mother in Laws birthday, and put in a pretty box.
