Rose and Lemon Turkish Delight Selection Box 215g

Product Information

I do love Turkish delight and based on the fact there was none of this left within an hour of it being delivered, I think I can safely say I enjoyed it. Our hand-made, refreshing and exotic rose and lemon flavour is a genuine Turkish treat, is one of the most delectable sweets in the world. Enjoy this decadent Turkish delight with a warm cup of tea or just as your dessert.

Make your Turkish delight a slightlydarker colour than you want the end product to appear. It lightens slightly once set. If, during this process, you notice any cubes still seeping water – simply roll them in more cornflour and leave to cure again until a crust forms. Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper.

To prepare your pan, lightly oil the base and sides, then dust with cornflour, and tap out any excess. If you’re using a normal baking pan, line with baking paper first thenoil and dust with cornflour. Pour 150ml water into a pan and add 9 gelatine leaves, breaking them in half, if necessary, so that they all fit. Leave the gelatine to swell or ‘bloom’ a little for 5 mins. I recently experienced the pairing of Turkish delight with goats cheese at a Cheese-tasting event and despite how weird it sounds, it was amazing and I’ve since tried it with lots of different cheeses and it really does work. Haci Bekir, a well-known confectioner, became famous due to his ingenious use of white sugar and cornstarch. He was summoned to the Topkapi Palace to pioneer the development of what is today one of Turkey’s hallmark confections.

Real Turkish delight is made with real sugar without glucose syrup and doesn’t contain gelatin making it suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and those following halal and kosher diets. If you’re new to rosewater, you can learn all about it, how to cook with it, our favorite type, and how it's made in our " What Is Rose Water And How Do You Use It" essential guide. Start with a light hand —too much can taste soapy. If you don’t like rosewater go ahead and replace it with your favorite extract or dried fruit. Remove it from the pan and cut into cubes. Leave them spaced apart on a chopping board at room temperature for 24 hours to sweat. Coat each cube in cornflour then leave to cure at room temperature for a few hours. They should form a crust.

This is a lovely Turkish delight, which does have authentic rose and lemon flavours combined into each piece. It arrives in a sturdy bag, which is resealable. 5 star from me. Make the dusting mixture: Into a small bowl, combine 3 ½ tablespoons powdered sugar and 3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of this mixture over the base and sides of the baking dish. Set the remaining dusting mixture aside.
