Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 1 hr 30 min

Ingredients:

• 1 pomelo
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups water

Instructions:

• 1. 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.
• 2. 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.
• 3. Slice the pomelo rind into 1/4 inch by 3 inch sticks.
• 4. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place pomelo rind in the pot and blanch for one 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.
• 5. Place two cups of water and two cups of sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.
• 6. Add pomelo rind to the sugar water and simmer for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, until the liquid has been absorbed and the rinds are translucent.
• 7. Carefully move the rinds to a rack and sprinkle with sugar. Let them dry for about 3 hours, turning them halfway through.
• 8. Store in a sealed container.
