Homemade Turkish Delight

[@mrbarrylewis]

What do you think my fellow Turkish Delight haters, will you try homemade Turkish Delight and become a convert like me?? Check out more Barry Tries here: kzbin.info/aero/PLfItiEY3o1msmCdkx49hQcmgh39L02lf5

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Will definitely try it at Home!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@caz3895]

Turkish Delight always reminds me of my Dad, who loved it. Homemade looks great, will give it a go. Garden kitchen looking good 👍

[@sazjay3174]

it was so cool watching it turn from what looked like mash potato to mashed turnip then a delicious treat lol, my auntie brought back Turkish delight from her holiday (the real ones) for me years ago it had nuts in was so much better than the chocolate bar ones.

[@georgiadreamingbb1245]

That would be an amazing try I'd love to see the mint with the chocolate cover!

[@glenysdunford819]

Oh I love your video's 😂😂

[@ezgi9757]

As a Turkish person it's always impressive seeing people making lokum at home. I don't think I've never heard someone making it at home, don't even know the recipe but yours looking great now I want some. You can eat it as is or you can squish and spread the Turkish delight a little bit between two petit beurre biscuits and eat it like a little sandwich, crisp biscuits and soft sweet lokum is delicious together.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Funnily enough, I was wondering "what if it was wrapped in baklava-style pastry" near the end of this. Though of course, it would all depend on the ratio of filo to lokum, since too much of one would likely overpower the other, both in terms of taste and texture. Still, it'd be interesting to see if such a "baklalokum" ("wrapped morsel"?) would actually work.

[@beththebookworm]

For the Brits, use morning coffee biscuits or rich tea biscuits (morning coffee have the same shape as petit beurre)

[@mgthestrange9098]

What? Why have I just heard of this?

[@zipp4everyone263]

This! Had some at a turkish wedding a few years ago. Really miss it and the people.

[@bankstonw]

Hey Barry, I just wanted to say I'm proud of you at what you've accomplished. I know this is something you wanted for a long time and now you have your own studio. This is amazing

[@steelhorseman2482]

Barry, you might not believe this. My name is Michael Lewis. I just want to thank you for your time showing the things that could help the people who have disabilities. I have Cerebral Palsy.

[@kristi6799]

I have a disability and have some of those useful.

[@chris_822]

Hey fellow CP person! 😊

[@jiorno_jowana]

@chris_822 That sounds very very bad😅

[@theoverallguy6186]

I dont believe you

[@vickytaylor9155]

My Mum went to Turkey a few years ago and brought me back some Turkish delight. She bought back spearmint flavour and cool mint plus some lemon and lime flavour and rose. The mint ones tasted like toothpaste.

[@AstonGryffynn]

Rose and lime are godly though.

[@RobbertNyhan]

Just so you know, you're supposed to make a 1-3 ratio of the powder that goes on them after they cool! It's supposed to be 1 part corn starch to 2 parts powdered sugar. But I guess using just powdered sugar makes it extra sweet

[@imjustsaying7300]

As a kid reading CS Lewis book’s, I thought turkish delight was turkey in a sticky sauce. It was later I discovered the sugar inducing coma candy that it is 😵 Great to see you in the new kitchen! Looks great and I’m sure it will be more comfortable when you remember where you put all your cooking tools lol.

[@Zyroes]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

[@mgthestrange9098]

LOL, I always knew what it was but I suppose you wouldn’t if you’d never had it, the book doesn’t explain what it is.

[@buddhaflipdotcom8470]

Ha! I was surprised that Barry made no reference to the White Witch in this video. I wonder if his was good enough to betray your family?

[@PartyOnMyBlock]

There are so many flavours of turkish delight you would not believe! Brought a ton back when I went to Turkey. Yours looked great!

[@drtns]

I am the only one in my household that likes the rose water version, when I make it I will stick to the lemon or other more friendly flavours. glad you tried it out, I agree with everyone else home-made is so much better then the shop, unless you can find one of those boutique shops that also make it from scratch.

[@vanvleesenbloed09]

Hey Barry, I am from Turkey and a fun fact : In Turkish we call these as "Lokum" . I love the fact that your first video on the new studio is dedicated to Lokum🎉 I just realized I have never seen how they were actually made so this was so much fun to watch😊 There are so many other tastes available so you should definetely taste those too! Cheers

[@beththebookworm]

Good job Barry. Mint lokum is delicious, as is pomegranate - pomegranate and pistachio is a very popular combination. You don't need to take the mix to a very oragne colour; plain lokum is actually still quite pale.

[@Slimebiter]

ooh pomegranate sounds lovely

[@PsylomeAlpha]

oh goodness, pomegranate pistachio sounds delicious actually

[@hatingontruth9118]

I still really enjoy your warm and homely format of your videos. I agree a dedicated frige in your garden kitchen will be a great touch. I'll miss seeing all the Lewis family's leftovers when you us the main fridge. Great video.

[@juh-roon]

Over here, the Turkish bakeries make the sweetest Turkish Delights. So good.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Any crazy flavours?

[@juh-roon]

​​@@mrbarrylewisI don't know if they are 'crazy'. Over here (Belgium) the Turkish bakers remain rather traditional flavorwise. Almond, dates, pomegranate... The one standing out to me is rose (as in the flower). Haven't tasted it yet, but together with the rosewater might be a bit too much for me. :)

[@lmetcalf-gc2ic]

Proper Turkish delight is ridiculously addictive Tbh 😂 I always get a few boxes if I Go on holiday to Turkey if you do end up going to try the authentic stuff I really recommend marmaris beautiful place and everyone is so friendly and welcoming 😊

[@yankis.]

Meh, it's way too sweet.

[@monikasturm2575]

My son saw these as a kid while watching Narnia and begged for me to get him some. After a month I find some here in Texas and he was soo excited. He ripped the box open and shoved one in his mouth and then commenced to spitting it out and sticking his hand in his mouth trying to remove all the wee bits still in his mouth. He was so disappointed, the poor baby. 😂

[@volrosku.6075]

rosewater (the traditional flavour) takes some getting used to, but you can easily replace it with like vanilla

[@ronaupton9328]

That looks amazing I love Turkish delight. Like the choc ones to. You garden kitchen looks great

[@sarahhammond7133]

I loved this episode Barry one of my favourite chocolates is Turkish delight plus it was so lovely seeing you cook in your new kitchen. Definitely looking forward to many more

[@rachelmiller8323]

Love love love seeing you so happy in the new kitchen!

[@claregrice8103]

Loving the new kitten and the eye chart in the corner is stonkin ❤

[@stargateoracle]

new kitchen looks amazing barry, glad your happy with it and cant wait for more vids in there

[@marjonantoons7538]

I was genuinely grinning when I saw you pick your things up and went for the garden kitchen. It is lovely, congratulations. I wish you lots of fun, great food and happy days there! (Oh, and lots of videos!)

[@andreaw.5506]

Ooooh, nice, Turkish delight can be really delicious! Just bought a violet flavoured one in a Turkish supermarket, love it (but you REALLY have to love floral flavours for that one...). Love the new kitchen, btw! 😃

[@Cinnabuns75]

I am so happy you’ve started fast forwarding the chewing/eating parts of your videos. As someone with severe misophonia it actually helps me so much! I don’t have to mute the end of your videos (when you try the foods) now!🫡🙌

[@Rishi123456789]

I absolutely love Turkish Delight, both the original Lokum version (of which I've only eaten the rose version) and the chocolate version from Fry's.

[@awineandfoodnerd]

The garden kitchen is lovely, Barry.

[@dawnmorris3718]

Nice! I love Turkish Delight! Always was one of my favorites as a child in South Africa...Thank goodness we have an International Market near me where I can get these. I absolutely love the lemon ones...

[@emmajudson5945]

When boiling sugar syrup, have a wet pastry brush you can run round the edge of the pan so you don't burn the little splashy bits up the side of the pan.

[@ktmazz]

Love the design of the new kitchen space, and I love that Boston gets to hang out with you in the studio 😂

[@StevenJBen]

I like all the green plants. It looks good.

[@Caldaris]

I know you said it's a bit bodged at the moment but I'm still liking the look of the new garden kitchen!

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

I have an old stove-washing thermometer it has become a staple in the kitchen the more because the end is pointy and great for seeing if your pork roll needs a couple of minutes more in the oven for chicken I push it in the breast from inside the cavity it then hits the spot in the meat that is often undercooked also a great tip for folks with electrical or digital thermometers.

[@bonitabradley2339]

Love the new kitchen and the lighting is amazing congratulations 🎉

[@Ghostaroni]

my dad used to make homemade turkish delight, but i never liked it either! maybe ill like it when I'm older

[@mrbarrylewis]

I think the great thing is you can customise the flavours etc with making homemade, if it's a texture thing, may be best to avoid

[@jordanstoop233]

Here in the Pacific Northwest of USA (Washington for me), we have these things called Aplets and Cotlets. I don't know if they have them across the US, but it was a household staple for my growing up and is the same type of candy as a Turkish delight but in fruit flavors and sometimes with nuts. They are made in Wenatchee Washington and are so amazing!

[@Rickettsia505]

I made it once for Christmas about 20 years ago. My family still talks about it.

[@WolfGoddess77]

When I was in fifth grade, we read _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,_ and one morning, my teacher brought in Turkish Delight that he and his wife had made for all of us. This brings back memories.

[@lifewithsiant]

We get a homemade one from a local market stall, loads of different flavours, apple and honey are the best!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Apple sounds awesome

[@emilysmith2784]

The kitchen looks great! Maybe a new playlist? Home making things you think you don’t like 😂 I never liked eggs or bacon until my husband made me some. Still won’t eat them in a restaurant though.

[@philliparutter7671]

Best reaction ever to the finished product! Love your videos. x

[@emmalowe1132]

You should get brass look plug sockets and switches. I think it would look good.

[@thebeastmk2]

OooooO is this the new spot, no more bothering the family indoors 😂 loving it looks great

[@YaaLFH]

Proper Turkish Delight is yum! I have a great shop in the neighbourhood that always has more than a dozen different flavours. I pick up a box of Turkish Delight and a box of halva every time I go there.

[@adamglover2753]

Love the new kitchen / man cave lol , pls don’t get a cameraman in !! You fumbling about makes this real and why I enjoy your videos

[@sunnystar3321]

Is this the first video in your new kitchen (studio) Barry? It looks great!! Good for you!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yeah, it's a bit bodged but getting there!

[@jules3048]

It looks amazing!!

[@cjanderson2371]

Your new cooking pad looks amazing! Congrats on the new studio!

[@TheaCastles]

Garden Kitchen Studio looks amazing! Well done! ❤

[@Sasslette]

Many years ago we went to a Greek restaurant in Sydney and they made Turkish Delight. I ordered it for dessert (thinking like the choc covered packet one, which I do love). Out it came, an inch square, icing sugar covered pink piece on the plate. I thought WHAT? that's it? Then I bit into it... OH MY GOODNESS absolute heaven in a square and in fact you didn't need any bigger piece, it was perfect! *Droolable*

[@TheErador]

Barry! I know you keep saying it's all a bit bodgy rn, but the magic of filmmaking doesn't show that, the set's looking fly! Nice one

[@Kelsbels15]

I love Turkish Delight! Takes me back to my childhood, reading The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe! PS the garden kitchen looks fab!

[@NekoiNemo]

Neat! Though i got to say - rahat lukum i had in Turkey was a lot... less solid than the one you ended up with. The cubes were somewhat translucent and when you squeeze them they felt half-way between jelly and marshmellow.

[@Afrieal]

There was a local (To the pacific northwest part of America aka Oregon and Washington State) version called Applets and Codlets i'm pretty sure it's apple and aprocot version of Turkish Delight i never could like when I was young. Not sure if it's still around but if you do end up coming over to this part of the US it's something you could look for. Thanks for showing the process

[@mathboy1066]

Love Turkish Delight, sweet as baklava. You should try making that Barry!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Tada.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2W4nHyNg9qNnLs from the vault lol

[@candacedolan4857]

Your garden kitchen came together well, very nice. I am one who doesn't care for Turkish Delight candy because of the rose water. Everytime I tried it was overwhelming. It sounds like the freshly made product is not as strong in the rose water flavor. I will have to try it sometime.

[@Makreads]

I'm tempted to make some now. My mam would love it!

[@aj.a1845]

Studio looks great Mr. Barry. Congratulations 🎉

[@brianartillery]

A fridge would really tie the room together, Barry. To seal the deal, in a few months, add a good stain or scorch (either is good) to the work top. nb. I was joking about that last bit. Your garden kitchen looks as cool as fork. Nice one. 👍👍👍

[@KarenAllison-b2i]

We used to go to a shop in London when visiting there, that from my recollection only sold Turkish delight, can’t for the life of me remember the name now, as some time ago, but our favourite was the pistachio one, absolutely no resemblance at all to the Fry’s chocolate bar

[@catsmother4556]

Tip to dust the outside use a mix of 50 / 50 icing sugar and corn flour.

[@joeyisidor]

Hi Barry!!! Love the new video. :) also, can you try making the timpano? ☺️☺️☺️

[@mrbarrylewis]

Hey thanks! Yep, I have that on the to-do list!

[@shadowd]

Barry, This is a good way to transition people over to your garden kitchen. Keep it up :)

[@Sluetch90]

It's dark in the kitchen , yea that tends to happen when you shut blinds

[@NewEnglandBird]

Your kitchen is beautiful!

[@tipi5586]

Oh my God Barry, I've been wanting to make this for months now, had no idea that your first Kitshed video would be so useful for me. Tooth decay ahoy!

[@amysprenkle9966]

I've never tried Turkish Delight, but I can get it in a supermarket here in Florida. It seems to be a very divisive product, much like Marmite. You either love it or you despise it.

[@Dandelion_Stitches]

Love the new place! And also nice recipe. :)

[@mgthestrange9098]

I’m not overly keen on the Fry’s Turkish delight but love the proper stuff dusted with icing sugar. Not sure if I’d like it with the pistachios but love the swirly one which is rolled in coconut, you don’t see it outsideturkey much apart from at those really expensive continental markets. The Sultan’s brand in rose & lemon is the best one you can get here in Britain, BTW why is it usually in hexagonal boxes regardless of the brand?

[@AshleighEmilia]

Oh I LOVE the studio!

[@Anew1008]

Wow so proud of you!!❤

[@jessicaneal8553]

I love your eye chart wall art. It's totally stonkin. 😂😂

[@frans3474]

My favourite lokum is rose water or pistachio. I had never seen the stuff covered in chocolate until I emigrated to New Zealand!

[@guffingtonreal]

Love the new studio, fun Ashens figure too

[@umbranocturna6342]

Made this and cant say i like it. Wayyy too sweet to be enjoyable. Not sure what i was expecting, given the amount of sugar used.

[@schrodingerscat1863]

The recipe used here is the traditional version which is quite different to the stuff you get in those chocolate covered Turkish Delight bars which use gelatine rather than corn starch. It would have been a lot easier to make if you stopped taking it off the heat, it has to have a steady low heat for best results but all things considered what you ended up with looked pretty good.

[@AK-uo5xo]

Woww awesome job Barry 👏

[@CricketEngland]

7:10 Cane alcohol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is a type of alcohol that is produced from sugar cane and other sources of sugar. It is a colorless, odorless, and flammable liquid with a distinct taste, and it is the main ingredient in alcoholic beverages. Cane alcohol has a variety of uses, both in the food and beverage industry and in the industrial and medical fields. Cane alcohol is a versatile product that can be used to make a wide variety of products. In the food and beverage industry, it is used to produce alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits. It is also used in the production of non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, energy drinks, and fruit juices. In the industrial field, it is used as a solvent, fuel, and in the production of plastics and other industrial chemicals. In the medical field, it is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Cane alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar cane or other sources of sugar. The process begins with crushing the sugar cane to extract the juice. This juice is then fermented with yeast, which converts the sugar into ethanol. The ethanol is then distilled to produce the pure cane alcohol. The fermentation process can take anywhere from several days to several weeks, depending on the type of yeast and the concentration of the sugar. After the fermentation process is complete, the distillation process begins. This process removes impurities and produces the pure cane alcohol. Cane alcohol can have a variety of health benefits when consumed in moderation. It can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. It can also help to boost the immune system and improve overall health. Additionally, it can help to reduce stress and improve mood. Cane alcohol can also be beneficial for the skin. It can be used as a natural moisturizer and can help to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. It can also help to reduce inflammation and improve the overall health of the skin. Cane alcohol should be consumed in moderation, as it can have negative effects when consumed in excess. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to health issues such as liver damage, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Additionally, it can impair judgment and coordination, which can lead to dangerous situations. Alcohol consumption can also interfere with medications, so it is important to speak with a doctor before consuming alcohol while taking any medications. Additionally, alcohol consumption can increase the risk of accidents, so it is important to drink responsibly.

The mint flavour is so refreshing I love it more than the rose

[@audiocoffee]

Christmas = turkish delight season. not the chocolate coated version, but the octagonal boxes filled with rose and lemon - complete with half a kilo of cornflour & icing sugar mix to prevent it from sticking. tis dangerous stuff indeed. I can't make a single box of it last more than 24 hours 😛 2nd only to lebkuchen for seasonal addictiveness. (and yes, vegan lebkuchen exists.)

Instead of water and extract with the sugar is possible to use fruit juice and sugar

[@jenniferrue7929]

I have always wanted to try Turkish delight, and you have now inspired me! What are the measurements for the corn flour? I don’t see those in your recipe.

[@Psylaine64]

few rewind and pauses and its .... 200g ..hth xx

[@sunnystar3321]

I like the plant, fake or not, it gives the space a good vibe.

[@kaan1361]

Tbh as a Turkish myself I don't like the Turkish Delight either but it's originally meant to be a side snack for the usually bitter Turkish Coffee. The idea is that you drink a sip of bitter coffee and take a very sweet bite to counter it, kinda like eating the cube of sugar instead of dissolving it. Edit: Just finished the video, glad you liked it :)

[@sherrymackay3926]

Please tell me you have separate wooden spoons for sweet and savoury dishes??

[@angeltt4390]

A lot of places that make Turkish Delight "style" candy (like Fry's) use gelling agents (gelatine, pectin etc) to make is solid. Traditional TD doesnt have those gelling agents, you've done the traditional recipe proud!

[@TheNinnyfee]

I also hated the chocolate-covered storebought stuff, only topped by honeycomb and liquid fondant chocolate eggs. I would put orange extract and orange blossom water, and add deep-fried almond splinters.

[@magicknight8412]

Tip - you can put the bowl you want your sugar in on the scales :) Instead of filling a bowl , weighing it and then emptying that bowl into another bowl ...

[@zerrinoney2902]

everything about turkish cuisine is sooo deliciousssss

[@joshmazak]

barry, have you looked into how much spam hawaii eats, it is there state food. i believe each state in america has there own state food. would be great to see you try some of those things.

[@samhenwood5746]

Looks yummy but I think I will buy some Turkish delight & thanks Barry 😋👍🤗

[@tardisdisco]

I hope you know that with Turkish delight it doesnt have to include rosewater. Rosewater is the super tradtional way. But many stores and vendors have a selection of other flavors that does not include any floral notes.

[@simplegirl206]

Amazing effort. Was thinking that maybe you had the wrong rose water. Rose water that used in Turkish delight does not contain alcohol. Turkey being a Muslim country do not use products with alcohol in it typically

[@cuteandfluffypikachu3405]

Green mint Turkish delight covered in dark chocolate sounds amazing 😊😊😊

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

Nobody cooks until Boston shows up! 😎🐶 😂 I'd love to see a few videos on whatever mad concoction you can turn into angel delight.... Perhaps sweet and savoury? 🤔
