Bon appetit!
Having become accustomed to eating exotic fruits, our compatriots began to prepare a variety of dishes from them. New culinary delights feature fresh flavor notes that some gourmets love. One example is candied pomelo, the recipe for which housewives readily master: the skins do not disappear, the taste is unusual, and there are certainly health benefits.
Benefits of pomelo peel
Most people don’t think that you can use not only the pulp of the fruit, but also “fruit waste” in the form of a peel. But zealous housewives will never throw away pomelo skins. What is hidden in the peel that protects the internal contents of the citrus? It is dense, thick and bitter, so it is doubtful to use it as a food product. The processed pomelo peel can be eaten, as some beneficial substances are still present in it:
- small % of vitamins A, C, B
- some minerals;
- fiber and pectins;
- bioflavonoids (vitamin P);
- essential oils.
The body needs all these compounds, so pomelo peel is not a completely useless product. In addition, there is no sugar in the composition, but there is fiber, which helps obese people lose weight. Fiber and pectins in the fruit are useful in the gastrointestinal tract: by enhancing peristalsis, they help remove stored toxins from the body. Essential oils add a pleasant aroma to the peel.
Separately, it should be said about vitamin P in the pomelo peel, which is part of a large family of natural compounds - bioflavonoids. They cope well with swelling, heal injuries and bruises, reduce blood pressure, thin the blood, and reduce the % of glucose in the blood. Having an anti-inflammatory effect, they cope with microbes. They are useful to use as antioxidants.
During thermal processing, most of the beneficial substances are destroyed under the influence of high temperatures, so information about the significant benefits of pomelo peel is somewhat exaggerated.
Using pomelo peel
On forums where housewives communicate, you can find a lot of ingenious recipes for preparing dishes from citrus peels. Surprisingly, they can be used in a variety of variations, since after processing the peel loses its bitterness, acquiring a tart, rich taste.
In cooking, candied fruits and jam are most often prepared from pomelo peels. At home, they are dried and added to tea, used in fruit drinks and compotes for aroma and a tart note. You can prepare baked goods with citrus zest in the composition, which is served as an unusual dessert. Crusts are also added when salting fish. At the same time, the marinade acquires light citrus shades, but this fish is not for everyone.
The main purpose of pomelo peels is to flavor dishes. If desired, the dried peel is added to soups, main courses, baked goods, and drinks. Fragrant crusts bring pleasure to those who are partial to the aroma of citrus fruits.
Candied pomelo peels
It is quite simple to answer the question: why candied fruits are most often prepared from pomelo. Candied citrus peels are very tasty. They can replace sweets if a person dreams of a slim figure. Considering that the calorie content of candied pomelo fruits is low and is associated with the additional introduction of sugar into the composition, it is quite possible to lose weight on citrus peels. But you will have to add other low-calorie dishes to the menu.
To prepare candied peels, the following ingredients are used:
- pomelo fruit;
- 2 cups sugar;
- 2 glasses of water;
- 1 drop of food coloring;
- 2 tbsp. l. powdered sugar (optional).
You can use the traditional recipe for candied pomelo peel:
- The citrus peel is thoroughly washed with a brush and cut into slices of any shape, but of the same size of 1 cm.
- The peels are soaked in cool water for 2 days, periodically changing the water to fresh water.
- Freed from bitterness, they are once again filled with water, adding a drop of green food coloring. Then boil for an hour and, after cooling, squeeze lightly.
- Prepare sugar syrup (for 2 cups of sugar - 2 cups of water), into which the peel is poured and boiled for 45-55 minutes.
- The candied fruits soaked in sugar are removed from the pan and evenly placed on a baking sheet covered with cooking paper. Set the temperature to +105C and open the door slightly. To prevent candied fruits from burning, they need to be turned over periodically.
- After 2-3 hours, the citrus peels will magically turn into candied fruits. They are ready to eat. You can store the sweet dessert in ceramic or glass containers. It is advisable to use it within 1 year.
It is not necessary to add dye, but then the candied fruits will turn out faded yellow. To give the peel a rich green tint, just a drop of food coloring is needed. But the dessert will turn out not only tasty, but also beautiful.
Dried pomelo
With this method of processing, the pomelo pieces with peel remain soft and elastic, slightly dried. They retain their beneficial properties due to mild heat treatment. Sequencing:
- cut the fruit with the crust into slices;
- spread evenly onto drying trays;
- dry at +60°C until ready.
The dried product can be used as a healthy and light snack.
Dried fruit pomelo
The pomelo fruit is not for everyone, but almost everyone likes dried fruits from this citrus. They are saturated with carbohydrates and vitamins, while maintaining a calorie content of 90 kcal/100g.
Processed crescent-shaped pomelo pieces retain their green color and have a sweet and sour taste with a slight bitterness. You can chew them with the peel while watching a movie or reading a book. This is an excellent dessert - an antidepressant: after drinking tea with pieces of dried pomelo, your mood noticeably improves.
Pomelo peel jam
Let's not look for easy ways and prepare a delicious jam from thick pomelo peels, including in its composition:
- peel from one fruit;
- 2 cups sugar;
- 0.5 tsp. ground turmeric;
- 0.5 tsp. ground cinnamon;
- 1 tsp. acids;
- ½ glass of water.
Pomelo jam is prepared as follows:
- The thick crust, along with the white subcortical layer, is removed and cut into pieces up to 1 cm.
- Sugar syrup is prepared in a saucepan based on the proportions: 2 cups sand + 1/2 cup water. The zest is poured into it. First, set it to maximum heat, and continue to cook on low heat.
- Turmeric and ground cinnamon are added at the beginning of cooking, and citric acid is added at the last stage.
- To prepare the jam it will take 1 hour 20 minutes. When it thickens and turns amber in color, it’s time to put it into jars.
Turmeric, cinnamon, citric acid are additional ingredients that do not have to be used. But turmeric gives the crusts a bright color, cinnamon adds flavor, and lemon adds a sour note.
The jam from the crusts is medium thick, transparent to light, and rich yellow in color. The sweet and sour taste is diluted with a slight bitterness. This is a spicy “zest” of pomelo jam, which does not spoil the taste at all.
According to the described recipe, you can prepare an equally tasty confiture from the peel. Only during the cooking process is pectin or agar-agar introduced into the composition. They give the dessert a jelly-like consistency. The confiture is thicker and the pieces of zest are distributed evenly in the jelly.
What else can be made from pomelo peels?
Housewives are not limited to culinary masterpieces from pomelo peels. They use and willingly share other ways to use the peel of an exotic fruit:
- Dry skins are recommended to be used to get rid of moths. A harmful insect that eats socks and hats is afraid of the smell of citrus and leaves its usual habitats.
- If you add the dried peel to the tea leaves, the tea will have a spicy note.
- The dense crust holds its shape well, so it can be filled with fruit salad and decorated with a holiday table.
- It is useful to add zest to compost as fertilizer. Can be used as an infusion for additional nutrition of indoor flowers.
- Pomelo zest laid out on plates (maybe with cloves) will freshen the air in the apartment and give it a light citrus aroma.
The peel of the pomelo is thick, so the amount of “waste” is significant. They should be used whenever possible. And if you don’t have time to prepare candied fruits or jam, then using dried fruits by adding them to tea or fruit drinks will not be difficult.
Russian people are accustomed to “waste-free production”. Everything goes to work with him, everything has a use. And to throw away something exotic, bought not cheaply, is generally a crime. So make candied pomelo peels or enjoy the taste of unusual jam. Overseas delights will definitely come in handy.

How to choose a pomelo
The most useful are well-ripened fruits.
They are quite soft, with a shiny, smooth and fragrant skin without damage.
It should not have stains or uneven coloring. If one side of the pomelo is green and the other is yellow, it can be assumed that it is not ripe enough.
It is not the size of the fruit that is important, but its weight - the heavier one contains more juice. As a rule, the peak of fruit ripening occurs in February. Therefore, when purchasing this fruit during February - March, you can be sure of its freshness.
A whole, undamaged fruit can be stored for one month at normal room temperature and 3-4 months in the refrigerator. After the fruit is peeled, it can be kept in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days.
Pomelo is one of the most wonderful fruits given to man by nature. Using the properties inherent in it is a great opportunity to heal the body, strengthen strength, get a charge of vigor, well-being and optimism.
The exotic fruit pomelo is becoming increasingly popular in our latitudes. Its taste, compared to oranges or lemons, is more neutral and sweetish. The pomelo itself is quite large in size, and the thickness of the peel can reach two centimeters. To minimize losses, the skin can also be used. It makes excellent candied fruits. We will talk about how to prepare them yourself in this article.
Pomelo is usually sold in stores, hermetically packaged in cling film and plastic mesh. All protective materials are removed before cooking, and the fruit itself is thoroughly washed. Since the peel will be used to prepare candied fruits, special attention must be paid to cleaning it. It is advisable to treat the surface with soapy water and then rinse thoroughly with water.
The next stage is cleaning. Removing the thick peel is quite troublesome. And people don’t always know how to approach this strange fruit. You can learn how to quickly and easily clean a broom from the video from the “NemetsXXL” channel
The carefully removed peel is cut into strips 1-1.5 centimeters wide of arbitrary length. There is no need to remove the white “cotton” layer from the skin. It tastes best when prepared.
To get rid of the bitterness concentrated in the pulp of the skin, the slices must be soaked in cold water. To do this, place the pieces in a saucepan and fill with ice water from the tap. A small saucer and a pressure are placed on top, which allows the mass to be immersed in water evenly. This design can be left at room temperature or put in the refrigerator. The second option is preferable, since it eliminates the possibility of fermentation of the fruit. Change the water in the bowl every 10-12 hours. The total soaking time usually takes two days.
Making candied pomelo skins
Method No. 1
The soaked skins from one broom are placed in a saucepan, filled with clean cold water, and placed on the stove. Bring the pieces to a boil and drain the water. The skins are again filled with water and boiled again. This procedure is repeated 3 to 6 times. The boiled slices are sprinkled with 1.5 cups of sugar and poured with 100 milliliters of water. Place the container on the fire and begin to warm it up quietly. The heating of the burner should be minimal so that the sugar disperses evenly and does not have time to caramelize. The slices are boiled in syrup until the liquid has almost completely evaporated. To prevent burning, the process is constantly monitored by stirring the candied fruits with a spoon. After there is almost no moisture left in the pan, the strips of skin are removed with a fork and laid out on the surface to dry.
Method number 2
The prepared pomelo peel slices are filled with water so that it covers the food to the width of a finger. Boil the skin twice for 5 minutes, changing the water. After this, the translucent slice is thrown into a colander. In the meantime, prepare syrup from two glasses of granulated sugar and a glass of water. Place pomelo pieces into boiling liquid and cook them over low heat for 40 minutes. The slices are allowed to cool directly in the syrup, and then thrown onto a wire rack. Before sending for drying, the pieces can be rolled in coarse sugar.
How to dry pomelo skins
Candied fruits can be dried naturally by placing them on a baking sheet in one layer. To protect the product from insects, you can build a structure of gauze and toothpicks on top. It is important that the fabric does not come into contact with the candied fruits. This drying can take 5 to 6 days.
Another way is in the oven. Here it will take 4-5 hours to get the candied fruits ready. The heating temperature of the cabinet should be low - 60-70 ºС. To ensure good air circulation, keep the door ajar. For example, you can insert a matchbox, a towel or an oven mitt into the gap.
The most optimal way to dry candied fruits is an electric dryer. The air in the room will not heat up, and the cooking process itself may not be controlled. The main thing is to set the heating temperature to 45-55 ºС and periodically rearrange the grates with food.
Ready candied fruits can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or left without sprinkles.
How to preserve candied fruits
Well-dried hard candied pomelo can be stored in a glass jar at room temperature for up to six months. If the candied fruits were not completely dried, and the pieces remained firm and elastic, they are stored in the refrigerator. The shelf life of such a product is 2 months. For a longer period of time, dried pomelo skins should be stored in the freezer, packed in a sealed plastic bag.
Due to their high sugar content, candied fruits are very high in calories, but also incredibly tasty. They are a decoration for any dessert. Today we will learn how to prepare candied citrus fruits at home.
