Whether you are looking for a wonderful treat for you and your loved ones or an amazing homemade gift, Rose Turkish Delight would be great. The holidays are fast approaching, and soon, it’s going to be gift-giving again as well as endless celebrations. This means that you should have a prepared list of foods that you can serve.

Also known as “Lokum”, Turkish delight is a type of confection that is basically made with a gel of starch and sugar. There are so many variations of this delightful dessert, which consist of pistachios, chopped dates, walnuts, and hazelnuts. All of which are held together by the gel. Cinnamon and mint are common flavors, too. But whichever it is that you want to do, the result should be cut into cubes and dusted with copra, icing sugar, or powdered cream of tartar.

One of the most popular types of Turkish Delight is the pink one. This right here is the “Rose Turkish Delight”. To be honest with you, I had so much fun eating this even when I was a kid, but it was not until recently that I learned its real name. 🙂

The term “lokum” or “lokma”, which is the Turkish name of this particular confection means “morsel”. And these square beauties are exactly just that…
