Whenever I hear Turkish Delights it always reminds me of Edmund

[yanderdreams]

I've been wanting to try some Turkish Delights ever since I saw The Chronicles of Narnia

There are 2 kinds of people in this world:
-selling your siblings for sweets
-irresistable

Step 1:Approach a kid
Step 2:Turkish delight irresistible

for anyone who doesn't have cream of tartar like i didn't, for every 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar use 1 teaspoon of lemon juice so for this recipe it says 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar so that means 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. It works perfectly and my Turkish delight turned out perfect!

For those who complaining about too much sugar, it is served with Turkish coffee ( Turkish coffee is bitter) that's why this has to be sweet to balance the bitterness of coffee. They can even give one one or two cubes for a cup of Turkish coffee.

Hi my brother/sister, I’m a Turkish and really glad to see that you watch a video about our traditional Turkish Delight🥰 you can eat them with Turkish coffee ☕️ thank you🤞🏽

So my boi Edmund traded his family for jellied sugar huh

[The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

The reason this is important in the Narnia Chronicles is because this is the sweet that Edmund snitched on his entire family for. This is the metaphorical forbidden fruit in the garden or the thirty pieces of silver

This HAS to be a coincidence, no way I get this recommended after Zemo talks about Turkish Delights.

My final cooking never resulted with a medium amber color. I cooked it on low setting for 35 minutes (wear kitchen gloves. This stuff is thick and stiff...I got a blister on the side of my thumb after about 10 minutes) then cranked the flame up for the last ten minutes and it only turned a light amber color. (Could be the computer monitor settings.) Once I put it in a pan it was so thick I could barely spread it around. I sprinkled sesame seeds on top and pressed it down with my hands to get it to be uniform. I didn't have rose essence or any candy flavoring so I used orange extract. I also used distilled vinegar because I didn't have any lemon juice...hence the orange extract because you could taste the acidic from the vinegar . It turned out perfect. I will make it again for Christmas and actually buy the rose candy flavoring and maybe a couple other exotics and some nuts.

I hear shit like this will make you turn on your whole family. Narnia was lowkey saying this was crack.

[haookim]

I still remember when I watch Narnia as a child, I were so drool about this Turkish delight

[puppyrsb]

I'm addicted to "magnificent century" serious and this sweets they introduced with coffee. I love Turkish foods. Love from Sri Lanka 💗

[gracewylie]

I made half of a recipe and I think I may have over cooked it a little bit so it’s slightly more stiff than I anticipated. But it’s still so yummy and soft, and my family loves it, thank you!

So Edmund literally sold his siblings for some sugar and flour?

I live in the US and remember at a very young age...about 4... getting to have some Turkish Delight at the house of a friend of my parents'. I am 49 years old and it was the one and only time I have ever tried it, or come across it in the US. I have looked for the candies as well as a recipe every since I became an adult as I did fall in love with that stuff when I had it so long ago!! It made such an impact on me at the time, I never forgot my love of it's flavor and texture and I never forgot the name. I wouldn't have known whether or not it had vanilla or essence of rose water at the time, like I would have know if I had it now, but I would bet it was the rose water, as I have NEVER tasted ANYTHING that even came close to reminding me of the
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!!!
Much love and many

I just tried this and it's the best thing I've ever made.

One change - you said to cook on a low flame for 45 minutes to reduce the mixture, but on my induction, a setting of 5 (out of 9) wasn't enough. I had to cook for another 20 minutes at 7, occasionally pumping it to 8/9, for it to turn brown.

The clean-up was surprisingly effortless, especially if you keep on top of it during the cook. Have a sink full of soapy hot water before you start. :)

Thanks so much. Going to experiment with other flavours soon.
