Turkish Delight
Want to wow your family? Make the most delicious Turkish delight! I often pick up Turkish delight at the store, but the homemade version turns out far tastier and—just as important—has no preservatives or artificial colors. Since I serve this dessert to my kids, quality matters a lot to me. Sweet, delicious, and wonderfully tender. My family loves every bite. I don't make it often, so for them it's always a real treat!

- Make the syrup: pour the sugar into a saucepan, cover with the water, and add the citric acid. Once it comes to a boil, simmer the syrup for 15–20 minutes. 2. Put the corn starch in a saucepan and pour in the water (4 cups). Cook, bringing it to a boil. 3. For the coating, combine the starch and powdered sugar and stir together. 4. Combine the syrup with the cooked starch. Cook over low heat for an hour, stirring. 5. Pour the thickened mixture into a mold and let it set. When I make it, the mixture cools and sets in about 50 minutes. 6. Roll the finished Turkish delight thoroughly in the coating. Enjoy your sweet tea time!
