I need help with Turkish Delight, Rahat Lokoum, Lokoum or Lokma.

I´ve tried several recipes, the only difference among them being whether or not you cook the corn starch water before adding it to the sugar water mixture, or add it in cold, so the jelly comes out smooth.

What I don´t get is how to keep the jelly from sweating once you coat it with confectioner´s sugar!

I´ve been told:

1) to age the jelly for two days, then coat it with confectioner´s sugar

2) to mix the confectioner´s sugar with corn starch powder

3) to first coat the jelly with corn starch powder, THEN coat it with a mixture of corn starch powder and confectioner´s sugar

NOTHING WORKS!!!

It still sweats!

What is the secret please?

Is there some spell to perform, some God or Goddess to placate, some ritual or sacrifice to offer?

How do you keep the jelly from sweating the powdered sugar off!?

Someone!? Anyone!? Please help!!!

Thank you.

I can´t see a lokum recipe in this book 

Hello nifrtity,

Thank you for recommending the website. It has some great recipes I would love to try.

As "lady in red" puts it, however, I´m not seeing anything there that refers to lokoum, or how to keep the jelly from sweating upon contact with confectioner´s sugar.

I do appreciate the website, though, and again, many thanks.

I would leave it to the experts and find a good shop! Similarly for baklava
