CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEEL OR POMELO PEEL

INGREDIENTS:

1 Large pomelo or grapefruit

1 ½ cup sugar

2 cup water

1. Rinse the grapefruit/pomelo. Peel off the outer yellow skin, remove the flesh of the fruit from the
pith.

the water to a boil over high heat.

4. Turn off the heat, transfer the pith cubes into a large bowl.

bottom of the frying pan. Use the spatula to gently press the pith cubes to squeeze out the excess water.

8. Reduce heat to medium high, keep frying for about 20 more minutes until sugar crystals start to
present on the frying pan.

9. Reduce heat to medium, keep frying for 5 to 10 minutes until the pith cubes form a crystallized outer
later.

10. Transfer out to a place, let cool to room temperature before serving.
