It is dull, Son of Adam, to drink without eating,” said the Queen presently. “What would you like best to eat ?” “Turkish Delight, please, your Majesty.” said Edmund. Excerpt – The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. “My parents gifted me the first Narnia book when I was 9 and I hurriedly read through it so that I could move onto the next book. In no time, I had finished the series and would then run to find my mum or dad to retell them the whole story! I was elated when I found out that they were making a movie and I had my tickets booked well early so that I could watch it. My love for the world of Narnia has not yet diminished. I still watch the films and read the books with the same wonderment as before, 11 years on. One scene that stuck with me as a child was when the White Witch gives Edmund the Turkish delight to eat. To this day, if Turkish delight is ever mentioned in the house, someone will remember that scene! One time, I was watching a DVD of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Turkish delight scene came on. My dad snuck into the kitchen and produced a box of Turkish delights!! I had no idea they’d been hidden in the house for some time (fair enough, as I probably would have eaten the whole lot straight away). There was some comfort in eating the Turkish delight and watching the film covered in a blanket!” So now we have set a new tradition, almost a ritual that once a year whole family get together and watch the Narnia movie trilogy during Christmas holiday and along with other snacks we would demolish a box of Turkish Delight ! Orange and Cinnamon Turkish Delight, exotic and gorgeous, it’s amongst the humble confection but so popular and made just from cornflour and sugar. Great for sharing or gifting wrapped up in a gift box, perfect for a valentines gift! I followed the recipe’s method exactly but in Ingredients, I added mixed citrus peel. You will need :-
3 cup sugar 2 1/2 cup of cold water 3/4 cup corn flour ( starch ) + 1/2 cup more for dusting 1/4 cup light corn sugar 2 tbsp. mixed citrus peel 1 tbsp. orange extract 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder few drops of orange or yellow colour 1/2 cup powdered sugar Cooking spray to grease the pan
