Anyone got a good tried and tested recipe for turkish delight?
Tried making it, it set, but then broke down into a horrible sludge.
Please help

I use, ½ pint hot water, 1 oz powdered gelatine, 1 lb sugar, ¼ teasp. citric acid, few drops each of almond and vanilla essence, red food colouring, 2 oz icing sugar, and 1 oz cornflour
I put the water, gelatime, sugar and citric acid in a pan and heat slowly till dissolved, the nbring to the boil and boil for 20 mins, remove from heat and leave to stand for 10 min, but don't stir. Add the flavours, add colour and pour into dish and leave to set, for 24 hours. Mix the icing sugar and cornflour together, tip the turkish delight out onto the sugar and flour, cut with a sharp knife and coat all the pieces, it should then be stored in an airtight tin.

I use a recipe for a Turkish Delight Syllabub from Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites cookery book.
I found mine here -

But I think it's listed on the Channel4 website as well.
