Kitchen utensils
1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 Pot, 1 Silicone spoon, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Fine-mesh sieve, 1 flache Casserole dish, 1 Immersion blender, 1 Fine grater, 1 Citrus juicer, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Bowl, 1 Small bowl
Preparation steps
1.
Line a baking tin with non-stick baking paper.
2.
Put 560 ml water into a large heavy-based pan and bring to a boil. Add the caster sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from the heat.
3.
Mix together the cornflour, cream of tartar and remaining water.
4.
Gradually add to the sugar syrup, whisking continuously until smooth.
5.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is thick enough to draw a wooden spoon across the bottom of the pan to leave a path which should close up in 10 seconds.
6.
Cook for a further 10-15 minutes until very thick. Drop a little of the mixture into cold water - it should hold its shape.
7.
Remove from the heat and stir in the rosewater and pistachios.
8.
Pour into the tin and smooth the top. Leave to set in a cool place, but do not chill.
9.
Sift a thick coating of icing sugar over the top. Sift more icing sugar onto a large piece of non-stick baking paper and turn the Turkish Delight out onto this. Cut into squares with a sharp knife and toss in the mixture until well coated.
10.
Put into cellophane bags and tie with ribbon.
