Recipe (makes about 36 pieces)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup canna-simple syrup (from above)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup cornstarch (plus extra for dusting)
- 3 cups water (divided)
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pink food coloring (optional, a few drops)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (for dusting)
Steps:
1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment, dust generously with cornstarch/powdered sugar mix.
2. In bowl, whisk cornstarch with 1 cup cold water until smooth.
3. In large saucepan, combine canna-simple syrup, granulated sugar, and remaining 2 cups water.
4. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
5. Slowly whisk in cornstarch slurry.
6. Reduce heat to low, cook 45-60 minutes, stirring constantly with wooden spoon—mixture thickens to very heavy paste that pulls from sides.
7. Remove from heat, stir in rose water, vanilla, and food coloring.
8. Pour into prepared pan, smooth top.
9. Cool at room temperature 4-6 hours or overnight until firm.
10. Dust board with powdered sugar/cornstarch mix, unmold block, cut into 36 squares with oiled knife.
11. Toss pieces in dusting mix to coat fully.
Each piece contains approximately 10mg THC (based on 8g of 15% THC flower divided into 36 pieces; actual potency varies—start with half a piece and wait 2 hours). The soft, chewy texture with delicate rose and vanilla is classic Turkish delight. Store in airtight container layered with dusting mix up to 2 weeks.
