Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large pomelo
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup

Instructions
 

  • Directions:
    Peel pomelo by scoring it with a knife and pulling the peel off in quarters. Slice the peel 1⁄4″ wide strips. Place the peel slices into a large pot, fill it with water and bring to a boil. Blanch the slices for approximately two minutes, then remove and drain. Place slices back into the pot, fill it with cold water, and bring to boil a second time for about five minutes. Drain the slices, refill the pot with cold water and bring back to a boil once again, this time, simmering the slices of peel for 20 minutes. Drain the slices and rinse. In a large pot, dissolve one cup of sugar in 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 cup corn syrup. Bring to a boil for one minute, then add the pomelo peel slices. Simmer the peel on low heat, gently stirring from time to time until most of the liquid is gone, about 30-40 minutes. Sprinkle a cookies sheet with sugar. Remove strips from pot, place them on the cookie sheet, and sprinkle them with sugar. Dry slices in a dehydrator or in an oven on very low heat, being careful not to burn them.
