Lemon Turkish Delight

Description

There is nothing nicer than a handmade gift, especially if it is also sweets. I propose to cook Turkish Delight, beloved by many, known to us as Turkish Delight. With lemon and ginger.

Cooking

Step 1

We prepare sugar syrup: pour 150 ml into a saucepan with a thick bottom. water, add sugar and citric acid. Mix thoroughly and cook the syrup to a temperature of 130 degrees. Determining the temperature is very simple: drop a little syrup into a glass of cold water, if you can form a solid ball, the syrup is ready.

Step 2

Mix starch with cold water (400 ml.). Remove the zest from the lemons, squeeze the juice, strain the juice. Ginger is cleaned and rubbed on a fine grater. Add the zest, juice and ginger to the starch with water. We mix.

Step 3

Pour the starch mixture into the hot sugar syrup, mix thoroughly. Cook over low heat until thickened. Constantly stir the mass. The mass should be very thick.

Step 4

Sprinkle the form generously with a mixture of powdered sugar and corn starch (1: 1). We spread the brewed mass. We level the surface (a spoon can be moistened in cold water). Leave the lokum to stand at room temperature for a day.

Step 5

Cut the lokum into cubes. Roll in a mixture of powder and starch.
