Any votes for adding the rosewater now and finishing off?

:eek: You should have made your cornflour paste into a liquid before putting onto heat. Bit late now sorry

You could have rescued the paste before you added the sugar. :whistle:

Now its just as you are trying to do whisk, beat, swear and threaten with more violence.

You could try again. These arn't the most costly of ingredients.

You could try putting it through a sieve (have you got one of those?)

Right you, calm yourself, you're obviously not in my kitchen or else you'd be used to disasters!

OK, if ti were me (excellent chef that I am) I would leave it on the heat for a little longer to get a touch more colour, all the while beating it pasionately with my spoon to try and get it smoother! I would also yell obcenities at it for good measure!

Then whenI'd got bored of that, I chuck the rosewater in while muttering, fling it in the tin and go and sulk somewhere!

Someone else willvprolly have better advice tho!

Why not.

You did well to get it looking like it does. :T

Just finish it off and go for the taste test when set. :j

You might be surprised.

That's not what it said in the bloody recipe! :mad:

And, quite frankly, I'd rather go and buy some for £1000 than do this again.

Sometimes you need to read between the lines. Especially if you've worked with some of these ingredients before.

So receipes just expect you to know sometimes. :rolleyes:

Thats why yours contain the most basic practical tips and advice possible.:D

Ok...this isn't working! I have chilled my hands and attempted to roll my balls in them, but it's too sticky. Any tips on how I can do this?

I see that I've missed the best bit

I have mainly been [STRIKE]drinking [/STRIKE]shopping for the last two days

OK - it's a bit lumpy but it's not inedible and is therefore not a disaster. You didn't expect everything you made to be great did you?

Turkish delight is a bit ambitious - which is why so far no one on hear has said he/she has made it. Finish it off after a bit more stirring - do what the instructions say - though probably not an hour more

It may end up a bit grainy, or not, and you may decide to chuck it out. But you will have learned something whatever happens

Finally - if it really is a disaster - give me £1000 and I will get you some in time for Xmas

Put the rosewater stuff in and finish it off - I bet it will taste fine
