got this setting in the fridge now - i had a little taste and i think i may have put too much sweetner in - i put 4 tbsp in and it tastes a little bit too sweet but might taste different when its set x

i did mine in a takeaway container and then cut into cubes as it sets quite rigid. i personally wouldnt recommend this recipe though
it tasted horrid i followed the recipe to the letter and it did not taste anything like turkish delight i'm afraid to say. however i have tried several recipes with gelatine and have not liked any of them so i'm wandering if its the gelatine i dont like????

maybe you'll like it? others do, like i say it may be the gelatine i dont like as i have tried other stuff using it and didnt like them including a choc mousse x
Just wondering, how 'firm' are the cubes? I would really love to have a firm texture as opposed to jelly (more like real TD I guess). If it didn't turn out thick enough, would I add more gelatine (or agar agar if vege) or would I reduce the water?
Got lots of flavour ideas if I can get it firm enough - plus I have ordered lots of silicone moulds ready!!

Lower to a simmer and whisk in the gelatine powder.
Carefully pour into the moulds
Using a cooks paintbrush or toothpick, pick up some pink colour paste and mix into each cube

In a separate bowl sieve the icing sugar.

I'm about to make this :cross: Hopefully it will go well, but as I can't stand the stuff, I will be clueless until my Mum tries it...belated Mother's Day present

Lakeland sell rose water essence as well as loads of other flavours, handy if you don't or can't order off the net and there is one close by to you. Sainsbury's sells it in the baking section as well and lots of different food colourings too. I got loads of colours in at Xmas to make cookies and gingerbread men lol!
Don't know if anyone here has been to Turkey, but there are shops there that just sell Turkish Delight in every colour and flavour you can think of, I loved the ones with chopped pistachio in them :drool:
