Cooking

step-0
Mix all ingredients for the syrup. Thanks to brown sugar, it should eventually you get a very nice hue of Turkish delight.
step-1
Put it on the stove on low heat. Bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes with the lid closed. If you have a food thermometer - you're lucky, just open the lid and wait for the temperature to 130 degrees. The rest will have to watch bodyline, stirring the syrup, to sample the soft ball. Be very careful, it is likely to boil down the syrup to the state peregrinos caramel and all work will be for nothing. So follow the plate and try. My cooking took 15 minutes. Someone can 10 and 40 - all depends on the characteristics plate. Then the syrup must be removed from the plate.
step-2
Mix in a saucepan the ingredients for the pasta. Put again on low heat and cook until that's such a tight paste. It takes from 2 to 5 minutes.
step-3
Without turning off the fire, a thin stream pour the syrup into the paste, stirring intensively (will go quite tight, but not critical for weak female hands). Yes, it will look like a very ugly mess.
step-4
Continue to mix and cook on low heat for another 15-20 minutes. The fluid should be viscous, translucent, will smell and enticing to try. At the end of cooking, add the nuts (crushed or whole). If you did everything correctly, then stir in the walnuts to the mixture is not very hard, easier than it was to bring the syrup to the starch paste.
step-5
Pour the mixture into a greased form (optional form vystelit with cling film). I don't have such a great comfortable shape, so I poured several small.
step-6
To wait 8 hours (I cook in the evening and in the morning cut) at room temperature. Remove frozen cake (it's fine to keep the shape), slice and sprinkle starch. Can powdered sugar to add, but there is a risk that candy can have a little obwodnica (depends on the quality of cooked mixture), so I always just sprinkle a little starch.
step-7
Well, dinner is served! Rumor has it that Turkish delight is especially good after a weekly binning. But I have not tested, because it is so long we have not delayed. Store in a dry place at room temperature.
