I was thinking of trying to make "Turkish Delights" (applets and
cotlets) by thickening melted jam or jelly with cornstarch and chopped
nuts. Do you think it would work? Any idea on the proportions to use?
I recently looked at a box from Liberty Orchards and their candy is set
with pectin and modified food starch.


Here's the recipe my mom used.




Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I have a bunch of jam and
jelly to use up, plus I want something thickened with cornstarch (and
the pectin in the jam) rather than gelatin.

An ounce of gelatin? Are you sure that recipe is right? I would expect
only 1 or 2 packets of gelatin.

Best regards,
Bob
