Famous as one of the fruits with a wealth of nutrients and necessary for “supplementing” the body in winter, pomelo is rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help moisturize the skin and enhance immunity.

When eating pomelo, you can make use of most of its parts. While the pomelo pulp can be eaten directly or juiced, the pomelo peel can be used to make tea or turned into a delicious pomelo peel candy using this recipe.

1. Ingredients for pomelo peel candy:
– Pomelo: 1 fruit
– Granulated sugar: 300 grams
– Salt: 2 tablespoons
– Filtered water

2. How to make pomelo peel candy:
Step 1: Preparing the pomelo peel
– Take a large bowl, add salt, and rinse the pomelo. You can mix a little water with salt and use a scrub brush to remove impurities and dirt from the pomelo peel.
– Then, use a towel or paper towel to dry and peel the pomelo as usual. The pomelo pulp can be eaten directly or juiced, and the white pith inside can be used to make pomelo tea, which is also delicious.
– For the pomelo peel used to make candy, you need to remove as much of the white pith as possible to reduce the bitter taste. Then, cut the pomelo peel into small pieces according to your preference.

Step 2: Boiling the pomelo peel
– Continue to use salt to rub on the pomelo peel to remove the inherent bitterness of this ingredient.
– Then, boil water and add the pomelo peel to blanch it for a few minutes. You should not boil it for too long as it will make the pomelo peel lose its characteristic crunchy texture.
– Rinse the pomelo peel several times until the water is clear.

Step 3: Cooking the sugar syrup
– Depending on the weight of the pomelo peel, you can prepare the corresponding amount of sugar and water. If you use about 300 grams of granulated sugar, you should also use about 300 grams of water.
– Add the sugar and water to a pot over low heat, and when you see the mixture gradually thickening, add the cleaned pomelo peel and continuously cook it.
– Alternatively, you can also immerse the pomelo peel in white sugar until the sugar dissolves and the pomelo peel turns transparent, then evenly cook it in a pan. However, boiling the sugar and filtered water mixture will save time and be simpler.
– Stir the pomelo peel gently in the low heat until you see a thin layer of sugar coating the pomelo peel.
– At that point, you can turn off the stove and continue to stir the pomelo peel in the remaining heat until you see the pomelo peel coated with a thin layer of sugar.

After being processed, the pomelo peel candy will have a very eye-catching color and a characteristic fragrant aroma. When eating it, you will feel the pomelo peel is chewy, moderately sweet, and pleasantly fragrant. Especially when eating pomelo peel candy in winter, it can help reduce heatiness, relieve cough, and phlegm effectively.

3. Notes when making pomelo peel candy:
– When cooking the pomelo peel candy, you should not use too high heat as it may cause the sugar to burn and make the candy dark and less delicious.
– If you don’t finish the pomelo peel candy, you can store it in a glass jar or zip-top bag for longer preservation.
– Choose pomelos with thin skin, slightly wrinkled, and less shiny.
