Steps
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
To make Turkish delight, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 cup of cornstarch
- 4 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Step 2: Prepare the Mixture
In a large pot, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Slowly add the water to the mixture, stirring constantly until the ingredients are well combined.
Step 3: Cook the Mixture
Place the pot on medium heat and cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes or until it thickens. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 4: Add Butter and Vanilla Extract
Once the mixture has thickened, add the butter and vanilla extract. Mix well and remove the pot from heat.
Step 5: Add Food Coloring (Optional)
If you want your Turkish delight to have a bright color, now is the time to add food coloring. Stir in the color until it's evenly distributed.
Step 6: Pour into Molds and Let Set
Pour the Turkish delight mixture into small molds or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool and set for about an hour or until firm.
Step 7: Cut and Serve
Once the Turkish delight is firm, cut it into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
