I found this recipe for the infamous Turkish Delight on the Into the Wardrobe website:

TURKISH DELIGHT

• 5 Tablespoons corn starch
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon rosewater (or lemon juice)
• 2 cup pistachios (or other nuts, if you like)
• a bag of powdered sugar

mix corn starch with cold water
set aside

bring hot water, sugar, and OJ to a boil
add corn starch
simmer for 15 minutes
STIR OFTEN

remove from heat, add lemon juice and flavoring (whatever you choose)

stir in nuts
pour into buttered pan

when cooled and thickened (be patient!) cut into 1 inch cubes with
knife dipped in hot water

roll in powdered sugar.

If you try this, you must tell us how it goes. I suggest you listen to the David Crowder song Turkish Delight while preparing and eating.
