ROSE WATER AND LEMON WATER TRADITIONAL TURKISH DELIGHT, DUSTED WITH ICING SUGAR
HALF DIPPED TURKISH DELIGHT IN 80% DARK CHOCOLATE JUST FOR MY MUM
4 tsp Rose Water or lemon Water
25g gelatin
225ml water
450g caster sugar
3tsp red food colour
1 tsp cornflour
Icing sugar
Mix all the ingredients together in a pan, except the gelatin, and gently warm through to dissolve the sugar. Place the gelatin leaves in a bowl of water to soften. Take the dissolved water off the heat, stir in the gelatin leaves.
Grease and base line a tin pour in the Turkish Delight and leave to cool and set. Once set turn out onto a icing sugar board and cut into squares, toss in more powdered sugar and icing sugar & coat well. I place in small cellophane bags and tie a piece of raffeta in a bow & tag with a home made label zig zag cut from last years Christmas cards.
MINIMUM 70% DARK CHOCOLATE
Melt in a double boiler very slowly so as not to form any crystals. Dip half the Turkish Delight in the chocolate and place on baking parchment to set.
