Turkish delight - one of the Middle East's most wonderful inventions!
I know that some people can't abide Turkish Delight's sweet, fragrant stickiness, but I love it. There are several different flavours available, and I always get the rose. This brand of Turkish delight is made in Australia (by the Real Turkish Delight company) and it's particularly fine, with a clear, vibrant coral pink colour. It looks brilliant with the apricots in this version of Eton mess.

Recipe adapted from BBC GoodFood (UK)
Ingredients (clockwise from left): rose Turkish delight, big meringue, tinned apricot halves, pistachios, Greek yoghurt, mascarpone. I also used the icing sugar that covered the Turkish delight.
Serve the mess in glass bowls to show off the fabulous colours.
And the mascarpone and yoghurt are refreshingly light and not-too-sweet.
