In a medium-sized pot, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves.

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the pomegranate juice to create a smooth paste. Make sure there are no lumps for a silky texture!

Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot with the sugar syrup, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a gooey consistency.

Once thickened, add the lemon juice and chopped nuts to the pot. Mix well to evenly distribute the nuts.

Pour the mixture into a greased dish or pan, spreading it evenly, and let it set in a cool place for several hours or preferably overnight.

After it has set, cut the Turkish delight into squares and dust each piece with powdered sugar before serving.
