Turkish Delight

Turkish Delight is made from a mixture of sugar, water, and cornstarch, which is boiled until it thickens and forms a gel-like consistency. Various flavors, such as rosewater, lemon, orange, pomegranate, or mint, are added to the mixture to give it its distinct taste. Chopped nuts, usually pistachios or hazelnuts, are also often incorporated into the confection to add texture and flavor.
