Testing Turkish Delight

My friend Maria came round last night and we tested a couple of turkish delight recipes, as she is going to make turkish delight with the kids’ club in a couple of weeks. Found a definite winner in terms of ease of making and best result - this recipe from the C S Lewis Website. We didn’t use the nuts though. It didn’t *quite* set hard enough to slice into cubes, but hard enough to, for example, roll into truffle sized balls and then powder with icing sugar. Might have gone harder in the fridge overnight, I suppose, I’ll have to test it again this morning. Also, I personally would use more rosewater than given in the recipe, double, perhaps.

  2. Well, we did :) Near the dried fruit, cake making stuff, lemon juice, essences and food colourings, that sort of aisle.
