How to Make Turkish Delight Chronicles Of Narnia

  1. Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Make the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and remaining cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Add gelatin and citrus: Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the bloomed gelatin, orange juice, and lemon juice until completely dissolved.
  4. Cook to soft ball stage: Continue cooking, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage).
  5. Add nuts and coloring: Carefully remove from heat. Stir in the chopped nuts and red food coloring until you achieve your desired color.
  6. Beat and pour: Beat the mixture vigorously with a whisk or electric mixer until it becomes thick and creamy (about 5 minutes).
  7. Set the Turkish Delight: Grease a small loaf pan (approximately 8x4 inches). Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place it into a larger baking pan. Pour cold water into the larger pan until it reaches about 1 inch deep.
  8. Chill and cut: Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely firm. Once firm, invert the Turkish delight onto a cutting board. Cut into small cubes.
  9. Coat and serve: Toss the cubes in powdered sugar to coat. Serve and enjoy your magical Narnia-inspired treat!
