Authentic Turkish Delight (Lokum)

Turkish delight, or lokum, is a starch and sugar confection that has been made in Istanbul since the eighteenth century, and the real thing bears little resemblance to the rubbery jellies sold under the same name elsewhere. This collection carries rose and lemon lokum dusted in icing sugar, double roasted pistachio bars, hazelnut and walnut varieties, pomegranate, mastic and cream filled squares, and presentation tins built to travel. Texture is the giveaway: proper lokum yields softly and never bounces.

How to serve and store lokum

Cut Turkish delight into small cubes and serve it with strong unsweetened tea or Turkish coffee, which balance the sugar. Keep the box sealed at cool room temperature rather than in the fridge, because cold dries the starch and toughens the pieces, and finish an opened box within about three weeks.
