A pomelo is like a large grapefruit. I bought one from the market last week. I ate the meat and kept the peel. I found some recipes online on how to candy some. Here are my steps.
First cut the peels and boil them.
After the first boil, rinse, and boil again.
Rinse and boil a second time.
After the third boil, the pith turns translucent.
Rinse with cold water and try to get as much of the bitterness out.
Scrape off as much of the pith as possible without damaging the peel.
Cut the peel into bite size pieces.
Slow heat in equal parts sugar and water.
Simmer for 2 hours.
Spread the pieces and let them dry out.
Sprinkle with sugar to taste.
Ready to serve!
