- Today lets make this melt in your mouth confection, the traditional Orange Turkish Delight (Orange Lokum). This gelatin-free and naturally coloured recipe is prepared with very few classic ingredients.
►Ingredients for Sugar Syrup
Sugar - 4 cups
Water - 1 1/2 cup
Lemon
Orange Zest - 2 tbsp
►Method
1. Add everything to a pan and boil it till it becomes thick.
►Ingredients for Lokum
Cornstarch - 1 cup
Orange juice - 1 cup
Water - 2 cup
Vinegar - 1 tbsp
►Method
1. Mix all together and cook for 45 minutes.
2. Pour it to a greased bowl and set it for 6 hours. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I made this rather successfully, if I do say so myself. My only issue is the syneresis. After it cooled in the fridge I cut the lokum into squares and then dusted them with the mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch. However within 3 hours of dusting them they absorbed all of the powder and remain sticky. Does anyone have a fix for this?
To prevent the Turkish Delight from sweating, be sure to do the following:
1. Allow 6-8 hours for it to set.
2. Initially dust it with cornstarch, and leave it aside for another day.
3. Cut the Turkish delights into cubes, roll them in corn starch, and set aside for 30 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
4. Store in a closed, but not airtight, container, as airtight containers tend to enhance sweating.
@@GreyPot and that's let it set refrigerated or at room temperature?
Thank you so much for the reply!
Everywhere I look they say if u live in a humid climate or it has rained recently then the Lokum will sweat..idk...I live in the south so...
@@GreyPot may we can wrap each cube in kling film ?

A couple table spoons of orange blossom water makes this really fragrant
i'm wating to eat the rahat lukum for 27 years since my nana passed away. I'm so going to try this - thank you :)
Instead of putting it in a glass bowl to cool down, if you have silicone icecube trays they should work too. So if you have some of those funky shapes, like a star or a circle, then you could have fun turkish delight shapes as well with little fuss. Just pop them out of their mold when done, dust, and serve.
Thank you very much for this video, I will have to use this recipe in the future. I have never made it with orange before!
:o I have insects silicone molds I'm definitely doing this thanks
so satisfying when the finished product falls out of the glass like that, then cuts in to perfect cubes
Oh wow, I would definitely sell out my siblings to eat some of that.
Nice reference, Edmund.
Bahaha xD indeed
I completely agree
😂😂😂😂☠️
I sold mine out for half a Twix Bar. I robbed that poor sucker...
Ooo this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I love orange and ginger together so I believe I’ll add maybe two tablespoons of fresh ginger to the sugar syrup, I’ll give an update when it’s done!
I'm about to do the very same! How did your orange/ginger lokum come out?
I made it and it was successful! Thank you so much for the detailed video! Love from Auckland New Zealand ♥️
You are so welcome! Thank You for commenting
@@GreyPot I used to make T.D. years ago.
The only slight difference I seem to remember was that the final DUSTING was called SHERBET, and was (I think) made from icing sugar and acetic acid powder, rather than the cornflower mix you used. This gave it a sharp tang.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Mmmm, All natural. No artificial colors or flavors. Now, I've never tasted Turkish Delight; but, 2021 is an auspicious year of change!!!
Made this today and I'm quite pleased ! Fyi, the syrup is ready at about 112°C.
The lokums have a very aromatic, almost floral taste, so if you prefer a more acidic fruity taste I suggest adding a few tablespoons more lemon juice. Some salty pistacchios are also a nice addition
Wonderful! Thank You
Now I see why Turkish Delight is so expensive! That's a lot of work.
YOU'RE a lot of work.
Yeah...it is a very labour intensive process to produce it. Also, some of the ingredients are quite expensive (such as the exotic nuts and certain flavourings/spices etc). Imagine doing this on an industrial scale.
So ultimately you pay for that labour and such use of scarce materials used in the preparation, hence the expensive price tag.
@Marko Laaksonen Growing up in the UK, we have a brand of chocolate-covered Turkish Delight called Fry's (which was a confectionery company later bought by Cadbury's). It has always been produced in the UK but now I think it is produced in Poland, since the factory in the UK that once prepared it is now closed. Obviously not authentic.
For years I thought that was real Turkish Delight until some friends from Egypt brought us some real Turkish Delight that they bought in the Middle East. That was when I learned what real Turkish Delight was and I've never looked back.
Mostly simple. It’s that long cooking time at the reduced heat with constant stirring. Oh boy, but seems worth the effort!
@@vinaymulukutla358 Fry’s Turkish delight is more like jelly 😂 the real stuff is much much more chewy and tastes so much more better, everytime i goto Turkey, i bring back as much as i can lol….
Thanks for sharing your experience 😀
Even the music made me feel happy. Looks delicious.
This looks so delicious, definitely will try this 👍
as soon as i saw the sugar syrup in water coming together i instantly thought of my grandmother's chocolate fudge technique. such good memories.
Finally, a recipe that makes it look easier!! Thank you!!
Looks so yummy, love the flavor of orange. Looking forward to making this sweet delight. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Hope you enjoy
The stirring was well-shot and frankly, a little mesmerizing! Can't wait to try this with other flavors/citrus, fig, pomegranate?
Thank You
pomegranate lokum is quite delicious!
Did you try it with other flavours? I was thinking this would make a great christmas gift.
The traditional one is made with Red Rose Petals instead of Orange.
This would be such a good Christmas treat! I'm going to have to try it this year.
Hope you enjoy it!
Made from clemantine juice…
Orange Turkish dessert that you can stir in (just prior to transferring to the mould), cranberries! Or some other bright dried fruit like cherries.
(I’m thinking to try this but for a mould, I’ll just use a cookie sheet. Big flat surface with a 1/2” edge/lip. Then after cutting I should end up with sugar cube sized treats?)
*i have a very old glass pan, that’s thick (possibly Pyrex) but it’s a cookie sheet 12”X24” with a 3/4” lip. It’ll be perfect. (That my granny gave me)
I’m dying for Turkish Delight …looks so yummy 😋
Thanks for shaing this yummy Recipe.
Sooper...video clarity 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
In our cooking style we call it as "Halwa" the same way we cook adding dry fruits like cashews and almonds and pour melted butter as extra in regular intervals of time that which enriches taste and texture of "Halwa" ..❤️👍
I have made similar Halwa... Red Karachi Halwa without artificial color, check the link th-cam.com/video/LAhhdyjkXEA/w-d-xo.html
Looks interesting I think I'll give it a try as I'm always up for cooking something new that I've never tried before thank you for doing this video hope you have a great weekend.
Love this. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
this looks amazing. I didn’t knew that llokum was made out of corn flour although I’ve eaten them my whole life 😅😅
Yes and no. It just has to be a good starch. In modern times, an easy to get starch would be corn starch. In earlier parts of it's history, corn would have been very expensive and inefficient to get.
Sadly, I don't know what the original starch they used was, since corn starch is so easily available now that it's the go to starch for it... but there are records of it existing before corn starch was introduced to the other side of the world.
Liquorice sticks are made from cornstarch too, never knew. I haven't had Turkish Delights before, but have heard of them throughout my life.
What a clear explanation! I will try this recipe for my nieces and nephew! thanks and happy and safe 2021!
Hope you enjoy
I've used other recipes with very mixed results. This looks very good, and I look forward to trying it!🙂
Turkish delights are not easy to make, I have been told, I am yet to try
@Gary Bickford status report please?
This looks very good. I love citrus and I love sweets, this is a perfect combination. I will have to give this a try.
Hope you enjoy
"... But when you see the final result, it's completely worth it". Aside of how beautiful it looks, the flavor is plain incredible. I wish there was a more meaningful way of thank you than pressing a thumb up icon for teaching anyone how to prepare this.
Thank You So Much :)
Looks very very Yammy, I will try
Thankyou!! That looks and sounds yummy and easy! Thanks so much!!
You could hear it??
This is the only recipe I'll use, no artificial stuff! Thank you, for sharing.
Thank You
Look so delicious 😋😍😋
This is some of the best stuff on earth. Nobody here sells it, so i cant wait to make it
Love the simplicity and natural ingredients. This will be an easy and tasty one to try. Thanks!!
Hope you enjoy
As a diabetic this is something of an intimidating attempt; though I'm tempted to give a small batch a try with some Truvia baking sugar and Swerve confectioner's sugar. Would be interesting, too, to try a different citrus base - ie, Lime or Lemon, though the orange looks awesome.
رائع وجميل تسلم ايديكي على وصفاتك الرائع الجميله

This looks wonderful! I'm going to try it with lemon and grapefruit as well.
Sounds great!
Will grapefruit juice not get bitter while cooking?
@@shirinkaur627 Juice - no, grapefruit rind - yes. Use lemon or orange rind with grapefruit juice. Makes a interesting fantasy flavor.
That looks incredible
This worked so well!! Thank you for the recipe!
Glad you liked it!!
This is awesome, I have a huge orange tree and have more oranges than I know what to do with, and I love Turkish Delight. Thank you!

Love the beat in the background.
How interesting! I didn't expect it to be so stiff from using cornflour, but it is a perfect consistency! I need to try this!
In the description it says cornstarch instead of cornflower. I think that's what they meant
Edit: some people in the comments did it with cornflower and said it worked, so maybe cornstarch was just a typo?
@@mae8646 Cornstarch and corn flour are the same thing. It just depends on where you're from. In England, it's corn flour. In America, cornstarch.
The stiffness also comes from the sugar, which is boiled to the soft ball stage. (google "stages of candy making" and you'll see.)
Imma try this recipe with orange and also make mint flavor too
Thanks for the great recipe , I will be making some wiith my grand daughter soon. I would have added a drop of Orange flower water to the mix. I will do that with mine, and a few threads of saffron. Have s grest day !
Sounds great!
@@GreyPot please🙏 answer if you know: will this recipe work if I add very little sugar(not so much at your video)?
@@user-eo1nq7rv2z It’s a sugar-syrup candy, so that much sugar really is important for it to turn out right. To address your concern, at the end of the process, you can cut the pieces into the size you want, so if you want to consume this dessert but with with less sugar, then the pieces should be smaller. Hope this helps!
Always reminds of Narnia(The lion, witch and wardrobe)! Beautiful and sumptuous dessert.....
Turkish delight, irresistible.
This is yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! will surely try it.
Hope you enjoy. Thank You

Well done recipe, I will experiment, cut and boil some beets, let them cool aside, blend them, strain the juice for red, pinkish or purple coloring, kind of like "blood orange" Turkish Delights.
I love this confection. I had no idea you could make it. I’m going to try to myself. Wish me luck 😊
You can do it! Good Luck !!
