Turkish Delight Take Two


This isn't technically a Jell-O recipe, but since I posted my last version of Turkish Delight from the Knox Gelatin Cookbook here; I thought I'd post this one on the blog as well. This is the cornstarch variety, and a more traditional recipe. I tried it for Christmas this year, and it was good. (I made them rose and orange flavored.) But it's still not exactly what I'm looking for. This recipe was fairly easy, but it took FOREVER!!! I let them sit and dry nearly a week before covering them in the sugar mixture. It also required a LOT of stirring. My hands were actually sore from all the stirring before it was done. Overall, they were quite delicious, but next time I think I'll try a pectin based recipe. The cornstarch variety seemed too starchy.
I found my recipe here.
Enjoy!

Christmas Molds

Here are the molds I made for the office party at work. I have a three layer Jell-O mold with plain cherry, vanilla gelatin, and lime with pears. The other mold is an orange peach agar mold for the vegetarians at work.
Enjoy!
