published Aug 09, 2023 When you make this Turkish Delight recipe, you will be creating a dessert that has been beloved for centuries. I think of these as a larger gum drop confection, this classic confectionary treat might even be described as one of Turkey’s national treasures! Don’t fret, though — as exotic as lokum may seem, it is really quite simple to make. You only need a few simple ingredients and a bit of patience to create your own Turkish Delight. I do also recommend a candy thermometer for this recipe. You only need it when making the syrup, but it is important to get the temperature right from the beginning. I love to make a big batch of these candies to give away as gifts during the holiday season or any special occasion. For more gift-worthy candy recipes check out this Pistachio Brittle, Sesame Seed Candy, or Tahini Chocolate Bark. Love this recipe? Share it with the world on Pinterest.
