Title: Aplets and Cotlets Categories: Candies Yield: 64 servings

3 Tbsp Gelatin 3 cup Apple juice or unsweetened -apricot juice 1 1/3 cup Granulated sugar 2 Tbsp
Each lemon and lime juice, -or more as needed
2/3 cup Cornstarch 2 cup Walnuts, chopped 1 cup Powdered sugar

Makes about 64 small cubes

Soften the gelatin in 1/2 cup of the apple juice. Boil remaining juice with the sugar for 15 minutes
to concentrate it. Mix the lemon and lime juice, and add all but 1/4 cup cornstarch to dissolve it
in the mixture. Add both gelatin mixture and cornstarch mixture to the boiled juice and boil again
rapidly for 10 minutes until very thick, stirring constantly. Taste for sweet and sour and add more
lemon juice if wanted.

Mix in the walnuts and pour mixture into a 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan that has been dipped in cold
water. Let paste harden 12 hours or overnight, then cut with a sharp knife into squares. Mix
together the reserved 1/4 cup cornstarch and powdered sugar. Remove squares with a spatula and roll
each in the powdered sugar mixture (the cornstarch helps keep the sugar dry).

There are tons of recipes out there. Go to your favorite recipe source on the net. Search recipes
for "Turkish Delight". This will mostly be with apricots and will get you started. I tried
Epicurious.com, www.recipes4us.co.uk. Also, just search on google! The key here is don't use
"applets" as this is some cyber jargon. Search for "cotlets" alone and you'll see many collections
of different recipes. for both applets and cotlets. Most have more flavor than the real things.
