Turkish Delight

1. Combine sugar, 1 cup water, cream of tartar, and flavoring(s) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. Boil over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches "firm-ball," or 250°F (120°C) on a candy thermometer.

3. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with ½ cup hot water, mix completely, and slowly stir into sugar mixture.

4. Stir constantly until mixture is evenly combined. Continue to stir on low heat until mixture thickens and becomes clearer.

5. Apply non-stick cooking spray to a form (heat-safe ice cube trays will do nicely, though not plastic ones), shallow pie pan, or jelly-roll pan.

6. Pour the thickened hot mixture into the pan or form and allow to set.

7. When cool, release from form or cut into cubes as applicable and roll each piece in powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or coconut.

8. Store at room temperature in airtight container.
