Ingredients for Pistachio and Pomegranate Flavored Delight:
- 1.5 cups of shelled pistachios
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of cornstarch
- 2 cups of pomegranate juice
- Additional cornstarch for coating
- 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar

For the Syrup:
- 1.5 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 3 cups of granulated sugar

Homemade Fitil Sucuk (Delight) Recipe Instructions:
1. To start, prepare the syrup. Boil 1.5 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 3 cups of granulated sugar until it reaches a boiling point.

2. Once the syrup starts boiling, let it simmer for 20 minutes. When the syrup thickens, remove it from the heat.

3. In a separate pot, mix cream of tartar, cornstarch, 2 cups of pomegranate juice, and 1 cup of water. Cook while stirring continuously. It will turn into a jelly-like consistency in about 5 minutes.

4. When it reaches a jelly-like consistency, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and gradually incorporate the prepared syrup into the lokum mixture. Don't add more syrup until the previous batch is absorbed. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

5. The mixture will reach a gum-like consistency.

6. Remove from heat and add 1.5 cups of coarsely chopped Antep pistachios to the lokum mixture. Mix well.

7. Pour the lokum mixture onto a cornstarch-dusted parchment paper and spread it thinly and evenly.

8. When the lokum is still warm, cut it into thin strips and coat each side with cornstarch before rolling it into a spiral. The lokum will shape easily due to the warmth.

9. Let it cool and slice the cooled rolls. Enjoy your narlı fitil sucuk!
