Recipe Tips:

- - If you don’t have icing sugar, you can use regular granulated sugar instead.

- - Turkish delight can be made not only from lemon and orange, but also from other berries and fruits: strawberries, raspberries, cherries (seedless), apples, etc.

- - Marmalade called rahat-lokum will be very tasty if, during the cooking of the syrup, add 2 - 3 tablespoons of honey (liquid) to it.
