Directions

• Use a paring knife to make four slices along the top of the pomelo rind to the bottom. Peel pomelo, saving the fruit for a different purpose.
• Carefully remove all of the white pith from the green peel. The pith is quite bitter, so you want to remove as much as you can. Discard the pith.
• Slice the pomelo rind into ¼-inch by 3-inch sticks.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place pomelo rind in the pot and blanch for 1 minute. Discard the water and rinse rind under cool water. Repeat this process three times. This will help to remove a lot of the rinds bitterness.
• Place 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.
• Add pomelo rind to the sugar water and simmer for 1-1 ½ hours, until the liquid has been absorbed and the rinds are translucent.
• Carefully move the rinds to a rack and sprinkle with sugar. Let them dry for about 3 hours, turning them halfway through.
• Store in a sealed container.
