Turkish Delight
- 1 ounce gelatine
- 1 pound granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Juice of 1 lemon, 1 orange and a teaspoon of rum
One ounce gelatine soak in one-half cup of cold water for two hours; one pound of granulated sugar put in a pan with one-half cup of cold water. Stand the pan on the stove until the sugar is melted and comes to the boil; add soaked gelatine and boil steadily for 20 minutes; flavor with the juice of one lemon and one orange and a tablespoon of rum. Wet a tin in cold water and turn the mixture in, having it about one inch thick; when it is hard or jellied, spread icing sugar over the top and cut into inch square pieces; roll in the icing sugar. A few chopped nuts added with the flavoring makes it much nicer. Let the mixture stand in the pan over night before cutting, as it is quite sticky to touch.
