Turkish Delight — Turkish recipe
Turkish Delight, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Turkish Delight

A sugar syrup boiled to soft-ball stage, whisked into cooked cornstarch and then stirred over low heat for the best part of an hour until it turns pale amber and pulls away from the pan. Set overnight, cut and rolled in sugar. There is no shortcut and no way to hurry the stirring.
