Orange Turkish Delight | Orange Lokum | No Artificial Colour | No Gelatin | No Agar Agar

[@GoggleHat]

I made this rather successfully, if I do say so myself. My only issue is the syneresis. After it cooled in the fridge I cut the lokum into squares and then dusted them with the mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch. However within 3 hours of dusting them they absorbed all of the powder and remain sticky. Does anyone have a fix for this?

[@GreyPot]

To prevent the Turkish Delight from sweating, be sure to do the following: 1. Allow 6-8 hours for it to set. 2. Initially dust it with cornstarch, and leave it aside for another day. 3. Cut the Turkish delights into cubes, roll them in corn starch, and set aside for 30 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. 4. Store in a closed, but not airtight, container, as airtight containers tend to enhance sweating.

[@GoggleHat]

@@GreyPot and that's let it set refrigerated or at room temperature? Thank you so much for the reply!

Instead of putting it in a glass bowl to cool down, if you have silicone icecube trays they should work too. So if you have some of those funky shapes, like a star or a circle, then you could have fun turkish delight shapes as well with little fuss. Just pop them out of their mold when done, dust, and serve. Thank you very much for this video, I will have to use this recipe in the future. I have never made it with orange before!

Made this today and I'm quite pleased ! Fyi, the syrup is ready at about 112°C. The lokums have a very aromatic, almost floral taste, so if you prefer a more acidic fruity taste I suggest adding a few tablespoons more lemon juice. Some salty pistacchios are also a nice addition

Orange Turkish dessert that you can stir in (just prior to transferring to the mould), cranberries! Or some other bright dried fruit like cherries. (I’m thinking to try this but for a mould, I’ll just use a cookie sheet. Big flat surface with a 1/2” edge/lip. Then after cutting I should end up with sugar cube sized treats?) *i have a very old glass pan, that’s thick (possibly Pyrex) but it’s a cookie sheet 12”X24” with a 3/4” lip. It’ll be perfect.

As a diabetic this is something of an intimidating attempt; though I'm tempted to give a small batch a try with some Truvia baking sugar and Swerve confectioner's sugar. Would be interesting, too, to try a different citrus base - ie, Lime or Lemon, though the orange looks awesome.

[@coyoteroadkill]

Now I see why Turkish Delight is so expensive! That's a lot of work.

[@jonhohensee3258]

YOU'RE a lot of work.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Yeah...it is a very labour intensive process to produce it. Also, some of the ingredients are quite expensive (such as the exotic nuts and certain flavourings/spices etc). Imagine doing this on an industrial scale. So ultimately you pay for that labour and such use of scarce materials used in the preparation, hence the expensive price tag.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

@Marko Laaksonen Growing up in the UK, we have a brand of chocolate-covered Turkish Delight called Fry's (which was a confectionery company later bought by Cadbury's). It has always been produced in the UK but now I think it is produced in Poland, since the factory in the UK that once prepared it is now closed. Obviously not authentic. For years I thought that was real Turkish Delight until some friends from Egypt brought us some real Turkish Delight that they bought in the Middle East. That was when I learned what real Turkish Delight was and I've never looked back.

[@dericksmith2137]

Mostly simple. It’s that long cooking time at the reduced heat with constant stirring. Oh boy, but seems worth the effort!

this looks amazing. I didn’t knew that llokum was made out of corn flour although I’ve eaten them my whole life 😅😅

[@TheDeathmail]

Yes and no. It just has to be a good starch. In modern times, an easy to get starch would be corn starch. In earlier parts of it's history, corn would have been very expensive and inefficient to get. Sadly, I don't know what the original starch they used was, since corn starch is so easily available now that it's the go to starch for it... but there are records of it existing before corn starch was introduced to the other side of the world.

Hello! I was excited to do this recipe, sadly I couldn't get it recipe right :( , the first problem I encountered was that after I dissolved all the lumps, I got them anyway after I started cooking the mix (I was stiring all the time at the lowest temperature possible), much later the mix didn't got translucent and was very thick, like it wasn't as malelable as min 4:21. Any suggestion? Thank you!

[@Anastasia-np1mj]

Cooked the water syrup to soft ball consistency is key. Use a candy thermometer. I used a sieve to pass the cornflour through as I dissolved the mixture with orange juice. That worked very well. I made sure to whisk until it was lump free completely before I added the water to it. Use cold water... it helps to dissolve the mixture too. Then cook while whisking constantly.... it’s a long long long process.... hope that helped

[@r.sanders8448]

Did you use "CornFlour" .... or "CornSTARCH"?? Most European countries call it cornflour..... but here in the U.S. we typically call it CORNSTARCH. There is a *HUGE* difference in both the products *AND* in the consistency and the way they are used in recipes.... which means that the consistency, texture and taste of the item that you are trying to make with your recipe is always going to end up to be a major difference if you try to use the wrong one of them, too. 🤷‍♂️

[@davidwheeler2888]

@@Anastasia-np1mj I am looking forward to trying this recipe. What do you mean by "soft ball" consistency?
