Candied Pomelo Skin Recipe

 Mamarazzi was chatting with Uncle Twilight Man but don't know how the topic comes to Pomelo. He mentioned that when he was small, he had tasted very nice pomelo skin pickled. Taste a bit like Marmalade .

It's first time that Mamarazzi heard of Pomelo Skin pickled. A search through google yields surprising result. There are so many thing can be done with Pomelo skin. There are Pomelo Skin braised meat, Pomelo skin salad , Pomelo skin candy and many more but she can't find anything about pomelo skin pickled.

 She noticed that the Pomelo Skin Candy looks interesting. Well, we still have one Pomelo leftover from our Ipoh trip...yup...Fresh Pomelo can be kept up to a month.

To have sweet pomelo, it's best to wait for the skin to feel soft before eating. Those fresh pomelo will not be as sweet.

 "Operated" on the pomelo.

 Cut the skin into strips. Cut away the "white" thingy as according to the recipe, that is the thing that makes the skin taste bitter.

 Blanched the pomelo skins 3-4 times in hot water.

 Last ....pour a cup of water plus a cup of sugar and boil the skin till translucent. 

 Mamarazzi rolled half of the skins in caster sugar while the other half she dipped in honey as Uncle Twilight mentioned that the ones he tasted have honey taste and it's wet.

 Jemur it under the sun. Too very long to dry properly leh.

 When I came home, it's still not properly dried. Those with sugar have harden but those with honey still sticky.

I tasted a slice......Mamarazzi asked me how? My reply was very diplomatic..."nice". But when she asked me to have some more I said "enough".

Mamarazzi tasted them...she likes the ones with sugar more than those with Honey. Honey with honey still tasted quite bitter. End up, she took them into the house and rolled everything in sugar.

Hmm.....learn new thing that day. Thanks uncle Twilight for the tips.
