Alrighty, today let’s make some Turkish delights or Lokum. Fun fact, these confections were apparently what inspired the creation of jelly beans, so it seems like a pretty ideal time to make dive into it. In North America, these are typically sold with red food coloring and rosewater as the flavoring, but they actually come in a variety of flavors. The recipe I went with today are flavored with vanilla, almond, and pistachio and I covered in coconut, but I’ll give you some tips if you want to change the flavor.
