While you can find Turkish Delight outside of Turkey with ease, it's not always easy to find real Turkish delight (rather than the brightly-colored, gelatine-set cubes full of artificial flavors and colors that are often sold under the same name). But you can make the real deal at home. I will be honest: Making Turkish Delight is a labour of love, requiring one’s undivided attention at the stove for the better part of an hour. Yet the recipe itself is simple enough and requires only a handful of ingredients, most of which you will likely already stock in your pantry. Besides, one batch will yield enough Turkish delight to feed a small army and keeps rather well, making the lengthy preparation worthwhile.
