Let the gelatin soften it the cold water. Add the sugar and the boiling water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the gelatine and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the essence and colouring. Pour into a tray (don't grease the tray) and let it set either in the fridge or at room temperature. Cut into squares and roll it in the confectioners' sugar.

Show more commentsThis is not turkish delight at all. Its pink toffee. Absolute nonsense. Wrong on an epic level. We followed every step perfectly. Ridiculous. Such a shame. You can’t even eat it its so hard and sticky. Awful awful recipe.
