Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp rose water or 1/2 tsp rose food flavoring or 1/4 cup fruit juice ( apple is nice) or 1 tbsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp orange extract or 1 tbsp creme de menthe
red food coloring (looks nicer with it) (optional)
1/2 cup chopped roasted pistachios (add along with your choice from above) (optional) or 1/2 cup almonds (add along with your choice from above)
1 cup confectioners' sugar or 1 cup granulated (1 cup equals 250 ml) or 1 cup desiccated coconut, for dusting (1 cup equals 250 ml)

Directions:

Combine sugar, 1 c water, cream of tartar, and flavoring(s) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with remaining water, mix completely, and slowly stir into sugar mixture.
Boil over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches Firm-ball stage, or 248 F (120C) on a candy thermometer.
Apply non-stick cooking spray to a form (ice cube trays will do nicely) or an 8x8 pan.
Pour the hot mixture into the pan or form and allow to set. When cool, release from form or cut into cubes as applicable and roll each piece in powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or coconut.
Store at room temperature in airtight container.
