Harat Locum sono un piatto Turco anche se da qualche parte ho trovato invece Armeno
e questa è la ricetta (fonte: me la so scordata..)
(Turkish Candy)

Recipe origin: Turkey

Ingredients

• 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
• 1½ cups water
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 Tablespoons white corn syrup
• ¾ cup cornstarch
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 cup nuts, coarsely-chopped (pistachio, almonds, or walnuts)
• ¾ cup powdered sugar

Procedure

1. Sprinkle gelatin into ½ cup water and set aside to soften for about 5 minutes.
2. Pour another ½ cup water into a medium-size saucepan, bringing to a boil over medium to high heat.
3. Add the sugar and corn syrup, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
4. Continue cooking until mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer, or until it forms a soft ball when ½ teaspoon of mixture is dropped into a cup of cold water.
5. Reduce heat to medium.
6. Dissolve cornstarch in remaining ½ cup water and mix well.
7. Add to sugar mixture, and stirring constantly, simmer slowly until very thick, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
8. Add lemon juice and gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin dissolves.
9. Add nuts and stir thoroughly.
10. Line bottom and side of 8-inch cake pan with foil and sprinkle with thick layer of powdered sugar.
11. Pour in candy. Allow to stand, undisturbed, for about 4 hours, or until firm.
12. Cut into 1-inch squares, and roll each piece in powdered sugar to coat all sides.

Makes about 60 pieces.
