Traditional Turkish Delight with Rosewater and Pistachios

Turkish Delight, also known as lokum, is a jelled, chewy candy often mixed with chopped nuts or dates. It is traditionally made from a sugar syrup mixed with starch to thicken the mixture.

Treat your Valentine to some delicately floral and nutty Turkish delight. These colourful sweets make a wonderful homemade gift for friends, family and loved ones

The Turkish name for this confection, lokma or lokum, means morsel, and these sweet squares are exactly that: a delicately chewy treat, perfectly sweetened, and infused with the fascinating and sweet flavor of either rosewater, bergamot, lemon, or mastic. Dates, pistachios, hazelnuts, and walnuts are bound in a gel-like concoction that is then perfumed with other flavors and colored by food coloring or natural ingredients. The squares are dusted with icing sugar, cream of tartar, or copra (dried coconut meat) to avoid sticking and caking, and are usually sold by the pound or in decorative, festive boxes with different flavors.

Could this be the best Turkish Delight recipe collection ever? We think so.
