Pomelo Skin Candies
Pomelo Skin Candies
The Lunar New Year came and went and I was left with some pomelos. Instead of throwing the skins away I use them to make these yummy zero waste candies. My kids love them and they are fun to make too! They are sweet and chewy just like gummy candies.
Start off with a pomelo
It all begins with a pomelo!
Remove the skins and only keep the white part of the peel.
Cut into bite size pieces
Boil for about 5 minutes to remove the bitterness.
After it has been boiled, drain and rinse with cold water and squeeze out the liquid.
Simple Syrup
Make a simple syrup on the stove top at medium high heat using 1.5 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and the juice of half and orange or 1 lemon.
Add the pomelo skins on the stove stop on medium still the peels soak up all the syrup.
Transfer to a baking sheet to let cool down
Dehydrate for 7 hours or let air dry for 3 days
Now you have yummy candies made from food waste.
Let me know if you try it!
