Into a sauce pan pour the sugar, cream of tartar and 500ml of water.
Stir constantly till it all disolves on a gentle heat. Once it is clear heat for 10 - 15 minutes at boiling temperature until the sugar solution forms a thicker syrup.
In a separate bowl whisk together the cornflour and 150ml of water.
Now add to the saucepan and stir.
Keep stirring and stirring as the mixture gets thicker. You want it to come away from the sides and when you stir the pattern to remain in it. This can take up to an hour of stirring so take it in turns.
Once it's started to form the gel like consistency you want to add in a couple of drops of rose water (add very carefully as it can be overpowering) and the pink food colouring. Stir well to combine it all.
Pour into the baking pan, level the top and leave to set.
Once set sprinkle a mix of icing sugar and cornflour over a chopping board. Then turn out your turkish Delight onto it.
Sprinkle some more on the top of the Turkish Delight and then cut into pieces
