Turkish delight with nuts

1. Let's start preparing the syrup.
Pour sugar and citric acid into a saucepan with water. I really like cardamom, so I add it. You can also add one of your favorite spices. Sugar must be taken brown - it will give the delicacy a beautiful shade. Bring the syrup to a boil over medium heat and boil under a closed lid for 5 minutes, then, stirring, for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown. At this stage, it is important not to digest the syrup and make a test for a soft ball.

2. And now it's pasta's turn.
Mix corn starch with water, add citric acid. Boil over medium heat until the paste becomes thick, slightly transparent and homogeneous. It will take only 2-3 minutes.

3. We connect the finished components.
Carefully pour the syrup into a saucepan with pasta, while intensively stirring the contents. We continue to cook the resulting mixture for about 20 minutes.
Add nuts at the end. I pre-grind them, but you can use whole ones. Carefully mix the nuts, trying to distribute them as evenly as possible in the mixture.

4. We shape the delicacy.
Pour the finished mixture into a mold to solidify for 6-8 hours. In order to make it easier to remove the finished delicacy, we pre-line the mold with cling film.

After the specified time, we take the Turkish delight out of the mold. Sift the starch and powdered sugar through a sieve and roll the diced dessert in this mixture.

We store Turkish sweetness in a jar with a tightly closed lid.

Sweet tea party!
