Hello! And again I am expanding my knowledge of desserts and sweets. I swung at the popular oriental sweets. So I decided to figure out what the Turkish delight recipe is made of and whether it is possible to cook it yourself at home. And I realized that nothing is impossible! Starch with sugar and the desire to make dessert - that's all you need.
Having rummaged through the Internet, I found an acceptable recipe for making Turkish delight. We will gradually bring the product to perfection by adding nuts to it and cooking on gelling agents, but for now we will focus on the simplest option. Soft and fragrant sweet pieces just melt in your mouth.
To maximize the benefits of our dessert, we add natural dye and flavor to it - cherry. We start cooking and after 5-6 hours you will have almost 1 kg. oriental delicacy.
Ingredients:
- Sugar - 300 gr.
- Water - 2 glasses.
- Corn starch - 1 cup.
- Lemon juice - 1 tbsp. spoon.
- Cherry jam - 3 tbsp. spoons.
- Powdered sugar - for sprinkling.
We prepare the basis
Shaping oriental sweetness
Homemade Turkish Delight has a fragrant and pronounced cherry flavor. Of course, the calorie content of such a dessert is high, about 300 kcal per 100 g. but if eaten wisely, it will not cause much harm to the figure.
Portion pieces can be cut into squares of different sizes and made them multi-colored. And this Turkish Delight recipe can be supplemented with nuts, pistachios, sesame seeds. It is not a shame to treat guests with such a treat or present a box of sweets to someone. !
