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?
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.
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
Ooo this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I love orange and ginger together so I believe I’ll add maybe two tablespoons of fresh ginger to the sugar syrup, I’ll give an update when it’s done!
@@GreyPot I used to make T.D. years ago. The only slight difference I seem to remember was that the final DUSTING was called SHERBET, and was (I think) made from icing sugar and acetic acid powder, rather than the cornflower mix you used. This gave it a sharp tang. Please advise. Thanks.
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. (That my granny gave me)
@@GreyPot I made some lokum yesterday and it was just awesome. Eveything. The texture. The flavor. The smell. Thanks a lot. I used some Brazil nuts and a few walnuts too. Delicious.
"... But when you see the final result, it's completely worth it". Aside of how beautiful it looks, the flavor is plain incredible. I wish there was a more meaningful way of thank you than pressing a thumb up icon for teaching anyone how to prepare this.
Well done recipe, I will experiment, cut and boil some beets, let them cool aside, blend them, strain the juice for red, pinkish or purple coloring, kind of like "blood orange" Turkish Delights.
Deff gonna try orange Turkish delight, never eaten Turkish delight before but my dad loved them at Christmas,pity they don’t sell this flavour in shops. Love your knife so pretty
In our cooking style we call it as "Halwa" the same way we cook adding dry fruits like cashews and almonds and pour melted butter as extra in regular intervals of time that which enriches taste and texture of "Halwa" ..❤️👍
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.
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.
Thanks for the great recipe , I will be making some wiith my grand daughter soon. I would have added a drop of Orange flower water to the mix. I will do that with mine, and a few threads of saffron. Have s grest day !
@@Ника-у7п It’s a sugar-syrup candy, so that much sugar really is important for it to turn out right. To address your concern, at the end of the process, you can cut the pieces into the size you want, so if you want to consume this dessert but with with less sugar, then the pieces should be smaller. Hope this helps!
Thank you! I've just made it! For the first time in my life following your recipe. It tuned out wonderfully. Love the taste! That orange zest is really something! 🤗
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.
@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.
@@vinaymulukutla358 Fry’s Turkish delight is more like jelly 😂 the real stuff is much much more chewy and tastes so much more better, everytime i goto Turkey, i bring back as much as i can lol…. Thanks for sharing your experience 😀
There are easy natural colors you can add like beet juice if you're making a red fruit, Carrot juice is another popular natural color. Maybe 2 tbsp would boost the color of this recipe. Blood oranges could give a more vibrant color too. I'll have to try this recipe as soon as oranges come into season, it'll be a Christmas treat
This looks wonderful and i love that it doesn't rely on gelatine or agar agar but I'm wondering how stable it is. How long does it last at room temp. or would you recommend refrigerating at night if it's not eaten in a day or two? I'd imagine the high sugar content keeps it pretty stable but that it may dry out after some time at room temp. ... am I right?
Looks interesting I think I'll give it a try as I'm always up for cooking something new that I've never tried before thank you for doing this video hope you have a great weekend.
@GreyPot no but I replaced water with juice and hence might be the similarity... But nevertheless I appreciate u replying back and giving the necessary tips. This time around I'll try with plain water to exactly know the taste of it 😁

Thank you so much for the reply!
Everywhere I look they say if u live in a humid climate or it has rained recently then the Lokum will sweat..idk...I live in the south so...
@@GreyPot may we can wrap each cube in kling film ?

A couple table spoons of orange blossom water makes this really fragrant

so satisfying when the finished product falls out of the glass like that, then cuts in to perfect cubes

I made some lokum yesterday and it was just awesome. Eveything. The texture. The flavor. The smell.
Thanks a lot.
I used some Brazil nuts and a few walnuts too. Delicious.
Even the music made me feel happy. Looks delicious.
as soon as i saw the sugar syrup in water coming together i instantly thought of my grandmother's chocolate fudge technique. such good memories.
Mmmm, All natural. No artificial colors or flavors. Now, I've never tasted Turkish Delight; but, 2021 is an auspicious year of change!!!
The stirring was well-shot and frankly, a little mesmerizing! Can't wait to try this with other flavors/citrus, fig, pomegranate?
Thank You
pomegranate lokum is quite delicious!
Did you try it with other flavours? I was thinking this would make a great christmas gift.
The traditional one is made with Red Rose Petals instead of Orange.
"... But when you see the final result, it's completely worth it". Aside of how beautiful it looks, the flavor is plain incredible. I wish there was a more meaningful way of thank you than pressing a thumb up icon for teaching anyone how to prepare this.

Oh wow, I would definitely sell out my siblings to eat some of that.
Nice reference, Edmund.
Bahaha xD indeed
I completely agree
😂😂😂😂☠️
I sold mine out for half a Twix Bar. I robbed that poor sucker...
Always reminds of Narnia(The lion, witch and wardrobe)! Beautiful and sumptuous dessert.....
Delicious.. it looks like Indian desert halwa... But without ghee
it's look so delicious and mouthwatering.thanks for nice sharing.merry christmas.
Thank you! You too!
I love lokum is famous treat here in Greece too. Exellent recipe . Thank you very much.

Thanks so much! 😊
YUMMY! I so have to try making this at home one of these days.
You’re gonna love it!
This looks wonderful! I'm going to try it with lemon and grapefruit as well.
Sounds great!
Will grapefruit juice not get bitter while cooking?
@@shirinkaur627 Juice - no, grapefruit rind - yes. Use lemon or orange rind with grapefruit juice. Makes a interesting fantasy flavor.
I wonder if cooking it in a double-boiler would prevent burning? Definitely going to try!
Now I see why Turkish Delight is so expensive! That's a lot of work.
YOU'RE a lot of work.

I'd imagine the high sugar content keeps it pretty stable but that it may dry out after some time at room temp. ... am I right?
The cornflour (corn starch) makes ir really stable, like gum candy, so if you want, you can let it on room temperature.
This is a great video, and your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Also, the background music goes hard, great choice!
Thank You so much
How interesting! I didn't expect it to be so stiff from using cornflour, but it is a perfect consistency! I need to try this!
@Mae Cornstarch and corn flour are the same thing. It just depends on where you're from. In England, it's corn flour. In America, cornstarch.
The stiffness also comes from the sugar, which is boiled to the soft ball stage. (google "stages of candy making" and you'll see.)
Just attractive neither health nor less time taking its quite complicate
Turkish Delight, irresistible!
Thank You for the comment
excellent video! from narration to camera work and background music and overall feel it's awesome!
Thank you very much!
Madam the way you narrated recipe is nice.... keep it up always 👍

This looks very good. I love citrus and I love sweets, this is a perfect combination. I will have to give this a try.

Looks so yumm!
Do the cubes melt if kept at normal temperature? Or needs freezing after cut?
No it won't melt
Lovely dessert, lovely tutorial!

You need corn starch for this recipe
Thanks for the recipe
I tried it and it came so well
However, I'm astonished after tasting it as it's resembling halwa in taste😅
I'm glad you liked it! Halwa is definitely a similar texture, maybe you added more sugar?

Very yummy 😋😋😋 ,can use jaggery instead of sugar, thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏 mam,
I have not tried it with jaggery, not sure about the texture.
I love lokum. It tastes so good.

Very good job but is it corn starch or corn flour please answer me.
Corn Starch
This would make a lovely Christmas present in a nice box or tin . . maybe with a little cinnamon essence added to the mix?
Great idea!
