Citrus Turkish delight is made from 5 teaspoons of sugar, 2 cups of water, half a cup of starch, grated peel of one lemon or orange, 3 drops of lemon or orange essence, 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Dilute the starch with a glass of water so that there are no lumps. Pour the remaining water into a saucepan and add the sugar, stirring occasionally. Boil for fifteen minutes over medium heat.
While the syrup is boiling, pour in the starch, reduce the heat, add the lemon or orange peel and boil until the mixture thickens.
When the Turkish delight is separated from the walls of the dish, add the citrus essence, stir once more and put in molds, smoothing with a wet spoon, or form as a long thin salami.
