I am very sorry to say that after four daring attempts, I have been unsuccessful at developing a recipe for pomegranate Turkish Delight.  I was going to have this big Narnia celebration, and we were all going to be so happy.

Forgive me, Connie!   And thank you to my good friend Marcia who toiled with me in my kitchen on attempt #3.

Well, today is the release of Prince Caspian.  I bought the Three-Disc Collector’s Edition this morning.  I used to say that if I were a teenager, I would have a crush on Peter.  Who was I kidding?  I have a crush on King Peter.

For all of you who are smart enough to just buy Turkish Delight, I did find Loukoumi, the New Zealand company that made the candy Edmond ate in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  They have a bunch of flavors, including pomegranate.  Click here to go to their American distributer.

   I’m sad, but understanding. It seems like it wouldn’t be the easiest thing in the world to create.

   I’m very excited about Prince Caspian. I have been a fan of Narnia since first grade when my brother sat on me and wouldn’t allow me to get up until I promised to read The Last Battle.

   This is going to be wrapped and under our tree soon! Maybe I could sneak a viewing before putting it there

   This is going to be fun. We’re saving Chronicles of Narnia and Prince Caspian until after Christmas during our time out of school. I’m going to order some of the candy and have it ready for Mike and the kids when it comes to that part of the movie. (Which flavor would you suggest?)

   What a great post. Narnia is my favorite place other than my house. And maybe Target. And what’s weirder than you having a crush on King Peter? I have a crush on Trumpkin. I mean, come on, people! Those eyes?! And I’m totally being serious.

   Hi,

   I’ve been making this easy Turkish Delight recipe for years. It’s not as sophisticated as the “real” thing, but it’s delicious! Mix 1 cup of applesauce and 1 cup boiling water with a large box of cherry jello. Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts. Pour into a pan and place in fridge until hardened. Cut into squares and roll in sugar. Store in fridge.
