Crystallised Pomelo Pith
Ingredients
500ml pomelo pith squares
500ml sugar
10ml vanilla essence
10ml lemon juice
icing sugar
Method
Grate or cut all rind off pomelo. Cut fruit into quarters. Remove skin, and cut pith into 25mm squares.
Soak in water for 12 hours. Change water and soak for another 12 hours.
Drain pomelo pith, squeezing all water out.
In a large pot, scald pomelo for about 6 minutes in boiling water, drain. Do not squeeze water from pith.
Add sugar, lemon juice and vanilla to pomelo pith.
Simmer, stiring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed and pomelo leaves the side and bottom of pot when stirred.
Take out one piece at a time, put on a tray covered with icing sugar. This prevents pieces from sticking together when cold.
Store in an airtight container, refrigerate in hot weather.
