Rosewater is used in many recipes extensvely throughout the middle east... used
often in both baklava and in Turkish delight, but just as often omited from
both. Turkish delight is essentially a middle eastern gum drop but cut into
squares, more often flavored with various fruit juices and also variously
colored. Sometimes nuts are added, usually pistachios, but I like it without
nuts, I think the nuts ruin the velvety texture.... when properly made it is
truly delightful, difficult to stop eating. I also prefer baklava without
rosewater, and don't like it at all with walnuts... much prefer it with
pistachios.
