Mandarin pleasure-Lokum

Turkish delight (Lokum) - Turkish sweets, which are prepared on the basis of starch and sugar syrup. Lokum is easy to prepare, but it turns out to be quite sweet and tasty. Delight is mainly made in the form of cubes, but there are also round, roll and whole delight. To add color and taste, fruit and berry juices are added to the delight, sometimes food coloring is used. Delight is often prepared with fillings: nuts, figs, seeds, etc. I propose to cook aromatic tangerine delight. Lokum turns out to be tender with a pleasant tangerine taste.
