Step cooking
- Pour 200 ml of orange juice and 300 ml of bottled water into a stewpan or pan with a thick bottom.
- We send 300 g of granulated sugar and 5 g of citric acid there. If you do not want the upcoming treat to have a refined citrus acidity, then feel free to exclude citric acid.
- Pour 200 g of corn or rice starch last.
- Using a large whisk, mix the components until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
- We send the stewpan with the contents to a medium heat, where with active and constant stirring, cook the mixture until thickened. Approximately from the moment of boiling, it will take about 7-10 minutes to reach the desired density.
- Wet glass square shape, in which we will cook Turkish delight, moisten with cold water. We spread the thickened, viscous mass in a wet form and evenly distribute it. If desired, peeled nuts (pistachios, almonds, peanuts) or crushed dense fruits can be placed in the jelly mass.
- Leave the workpiece at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to freeze the product.
- Without taking the treat out of shape, cut it with a sharp knife into small squares.
- Pour about 50 g of coconut flakes into a small bowl, and the same amount of starch into another container.
- We roll part of the squares in starch, and part in coconut. In the future, you will do the option that you like best.
- Cover the treat with a napkin or paper towel and leave to dry for a while. Put the finished Turkish delight in a beautiful dish and serve it.
