Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch plus 1 tbsp to dust
  • 1 + ½ cups water (divided)
  • 2 cups caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 25g gelatin powder
  • 1 tablespoon rosewater
  • Few drops of red food coloring
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
Directions
  1. Grease and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and then grease the paper, too.
  2. Add the cornstarch to a bowl or jug with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well to combine.
  3. To a large saucepan, add the remaining water, cornstarch mixture, sugar, lemon juice, and gelatin. Heat over a medium setting, stirring frequently, until the sugar and gelatin have dissolved and the mixture is starting to boil.
  4. Simmer for 25 minutes until thick and glossy. Then leave to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir through the rosewater and food coloring.
  6. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Leave to set overnight at room temperature (at least 8 hours).
  7. Remove the Turkish delight block from the pan and slice into cubes. Place them onto a board or plate well-spaced apart and leave them to sweat for 24 hours.
  8. Mix together the powdered sugar and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Dip each Turkish delight piece into the mixture to coat.
