  1. Put the glucose and the granulated sugar into a large pan with 2 c. of water. Stir well and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Put the cornstarch into another large pan. Add in 6 c. water gradually, stirring till well mixed. Bring to the boil slowly, stirring all the time, till you have a smooth, creamy white paste. Add in this slowly to the warm sugar and water syrup, stirring vigorously so which no lumps form.
  2. Bring to a boil again, and cook, uncovered, over a constant low flame for 3 hrs, stirring as often as possible with a wooden spoon. If the flame is too high, the bottom of the mix will tend to carmelize.
  3. The mix must be cooked till it reaches the right consistency. THis takes about 3 hrs, and on this depends the success of the recipe. To test the consistency, squeeze a small blob of the mix between two fingers.
  4. Only when it clings to both fingers as they are drawn apart, making gummed threads, is it ready. It may then have acquired a hot golden brown color. Add in the lemon juice and the flavorings. THe mastic should be grnd with a little granulated sugar to be successfully pulverized. Add in coloring if you wish. Stir vigorously and cook a few min longer. Add in the minced nuts and mix well.
  5. Pour the warm mix out about 1 inch deep into trays which have been dusted with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Flatten it with a knife and leave it to set for at least 24 hrs. THen cut into squares with a sharp knife, and roll in sifted powdered sugar. The Halkoum will keep for a long time packed in a box.
