Turkish Delight

I can't help with getting them out but if you use the moulds to make it again, perhaps try dusting them with cornflower before pouring it in.

I've never used mould for turkish delight but I also dust the tin with loads of cornflour mixed with icing sugar

I don't suppose you have a kitchen blowtorch? That would probably loosen them.

I second placing the moulds in really hot water - after a minute or two give them a bit of a shake and the turkish delight should come out, if not then soak again.
why did you use moulds btw? i just used to use a square (old)baking tin lined with greaseproof paper dusted with the cornflour and icing sugar mix. baking parchment would be even better i would think. then tip it over and with a sharp knife cut the delights into one inch squares and toss them in more cornflour and icing sugar. (I know the recipe said just cornflour, but I loved the mix of the icing sugar with it).

mmmmmmmmmmm - its ages since i made turkish delight and just thinking about it is making me crave some! I will definately do some for christmas now!

Its a few years since I made Turkish Delight and dont have the recipe to hand sorry, ifonlyitwaseasier. I do know I used gelatine, Rose Water (make sure you use the culinary one as the other one is too weak) and icing sugar and cornflour - but son has pinched that cookery book! will ask son tom for the book back! and post back as it was delicious! a little firmer than the ones you buy from the shop but still delish.

Hi all,

I only really lurk on OS but seeing as there are so many culinary geniuses here was hoping someone may help... I am keen to make turkish delight, however don't want to use gelatin, so bought some vegegel (I know it's not a direct alternative but I thought worth a try).

I have seen various conflicting opinions as to how to make it - does anyone have a tried and tested recipe? Also any suggestions for flavouring would be great too.

Many thanks

proper turkish delight is vegetarian, its made with cornflour and cream of tartar. Try googling for "authentic turkish delight recipes"

My nose was bothering me, I have done it for you (and me ) http://knol.google.com/k/david-speakman/authentic-turkish-delight/16ralkw04qz61/2#

Thank you!

Rose water is available from Indian groceries btw, kesar water can be a useful alternative - but raspberry is my favourite!
