- Prepare the Turkish Delight Mixture:
- In a saucepan, combine water and fresh juice (e.g., orange juice).
- Add sugar and corn starch to the liquid mixture. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and corn starch.
- Cook the Mixture:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Add Lemon Juice:
- When the mixture starts to thicken, add lemon juice. Stir well and continue cooking until the mixture becomes elastic and translucent.
- Pour into Mold:
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Prepare a mold (approximately 16×25 cm) by lightly spraying it with water.
- Quickly pour the hot Turkish delight mixture into the prepared mold. Smooth the top with a spatula as it sets quickly.
- Cool and Set:
- Let the Turkish delight cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, until completely set and firm.
- Prepare Dusting Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine corn starch and powdered sugar for dusting.
- Cut and Coat:
- Once cooled and set, remove the Turkish delight from the mold onto a cutting board.
- Cut the Turkish delight into small cubes of your desired size.
- Roll each cube in the corn starch and powdered sugar mixture until coated evenly.
