Turkish delight

Here is the recipe:

•   3 c sugar
• 1/2 c cornstarch
• 1 1/2 c water
• 1/2 ts cream of tartar
• 2 tb rosewater OR one of the following to taste:
• 1/2 ts rose food flavoring
• 1/4 c fruit juice
• 1/2 tb vanilla extract
• 1 tb orange extract
• Food coloring (optional)
• 1/2 c chopped toasted pistachios or almonds (optional)
• confectioner's sugar, granulated sugar, or dried coconut for dusting

Combine sugar, 1 c water, cream of tartar, and flavoring(s) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with remaining water, mix completely, and slowly stir sugar into the mixture. Boil over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches "Firm-ball stage," or 245ºF (120ºC) on a candy thermometer. Apply non-stick cooking spray to a form (ice cube trays will do nicely), shallow pie pan, or jelly-roll pan. Pour the hot mixture into the pan or form and allow to set. When cool, release from form or cut into cubes as applicable and roll each piece in powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or coconut.

Store at room temperature in airtight container.

Note: with the exception of the sugar, cornstarch, water, cream of tartar, and cooking technique, this recipe may be greatly altered according to taste and/or occasion.
