Turkish Delight



When I was little, I lived in Ankara Turkey for a few years with my family.  My dad with in the Airforce and was stationed there.  Although I don't remember much, I have always had a love for Turkish delight.  After we moved here, we would take trips to Seattle and there is a little store that actually sells turkish delight.  It is a sweet jelly like candy. 
My favorite was always pistachio, so I went on a hunt for a pistachio turkish delight recipe. 
And this is what I found on About.com

It was a great recipe and I found it very easy to do...quite a bit of stirring and watching, but the taste was very much the same as I remember it.  The rose water gives it such a floral sweet flavor, I was very surprised at how good this tasted!

So if you are up for a challange, I suggest you try this!

Josh loves to say "Tuggish Delight" every time he watches "Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" He swears that's what Edward is asking for ;)
