Step-by-Step Recipe for Orange Turkish Delight

1. Prepare the Mold

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a neutral oil or non-stick spray.

2. Create the Sugar Syrup

1. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, 1 cup of water, and lemon juice.
2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
3. Attach a candy thermometer and cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage).

3. Make the Cornstarch Mixture

1. In a separate large saucepan, whisk together cornstarch, cream of tartar, and 2 cups of water until smooth.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens into a paste.

4. Combine Syrup and Paste

1. Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the cornstarch paste, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
2. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently, for 45-60 minutes. The mixture should become a glossy, thick mass.

5. Add Orange Flavor

1. Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and optional food coloring.
2. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the flavor is fully incorporated.
