Sent by Evelyn Martínez.

Ingredients to make Turkish delight:

2. HEATS 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and the zest or scrape (peel) of a lemon and an orange.

3. since the above is boiling add 2 spoons of jelly powder (KNOX).

4. But before dissolve the jelly into a little warm water.

5. Gently boil for about 15 minutes.

6. Remove from the fire and add to give flavor 2 spoons of your favorite preserves (jam, jelly, jelly etc.) plus 3 spoons of orange juice plus, 3 spoons of lemon juice plus, 3 spoons of lime juice and by Last a pair of green coloring drops.

7. empty the mixture in a rectangular container.

8. Let it harden then cut into cubes, unmold and stir the cubes in icing sugar (impalpable, powdered sugar or flower sugar, etc.)

9. *** Note in this and all recipes remember to strain lemon and orange juices!

10. Dulce de Istanbul, Turkey.

11. This is really not a dessert that is eaten after food.

12. It is a dessert that is eaten at coffee time to accompany the delicious coffee of Turkey.

13. Personal note: Here are several recipes of the same sweet.

14. The traditional sweet has lemon juice, orange or rose or orange blossom (orange water).

15. usually the sweet carries pistachios or almonds.

16. Some recipes recommend refrigeration I personally do not do it because the sweet takes moisture and a syrup is made with the humidity of the sweet and the powdered sugar that covers it.

17. I recommend keeping it in tin boats in a cool and non-humid place consume soon 1 or 2 weeks.

18. As for the sweet point takes time and some experience to be able to give it the point.

19. Do not despair if the first times they have watery or jelly.

20. as far as flavor is concerned.

21. If you do not like the taste of pink and/or orange blossom use the orange and/or lemon juice.

22. There are people who do not like the taste of pink and/or orange blossom because they know perfume.

23. If you want to test only use a droplet or two so as not to concentrate the taste.
