Nuts, Cornstarch

1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 2 cups chopped mixed nuts, 3 tbsp vegan butter, 40 g cornstarch, 1/2 cup rosewater, 1/4 cup orange blossom water, red food coloring

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook until sugar dissolves, then increase heat to high and boil without stirring until it reaches the hard ball stage (250°F). In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water set aside. Add nut mixture and vegan butter to the saucepan, stirring constantly until well combined. Gradually add cornstarch mixture into sugar mixture, continuing to stir until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in rosewater and orange blossom water. Add food coloring and mix until desired shade is achieved. Allow mixture to cool slightly before shaping into bite sized pieces.

To get a perfect glossy texture, make sure not to overcook the sugar syrup.

These bites can be made in advance and stored for later enjoyment.

For nuts, you can use your choice of seeds or chopped dried fruit.

You can create a variety of flavors by changing the liquid extracts and food coloring.

You can also make this into a traditional Turkish Delight using a mold instead of shaping them into bites.

Store in an airtight container, layered between parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Up to two weeks at room temperature or one month in the refrigerator.

Place each bite on a plate with a dusting of powdered sugar and a whole pistachio for garnish.
