Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:Buy the whole grapefruit. Don't let others help you peel it, because it's more troublesome to rub it with salt. Cut a knife in the middle of the whole grapefruit skin. Make two semicircles. Wash with salt. Rub off wax and dust.

2. 

   Step2:After washing, it will be changed into thin strips. Use a knife to remove the white inner flesh, because it is extremely bitter. It can also be directly wiped with the tool of wiping silk. That's fine silk. But I only boil three pieces of grapefruit. I can't use so many skins. I do this to keep some skins for making grapefruit candy.

3. 

   Step3:Soak the peeled grapefruit in the water. Squeeze it. Change the water once or twice, add salt. Boil it. Cool the water, and then take out the peeled grapefruit. Cut the peeled grapefruit into as thin silk as possible. Cut the peeled grapefruit into 56 mm wide strips. Then soak in salt water and knead. Soak for one to two days. Remember to change the water in the middle. Generally, after this treatment, there will be no bitterness. The grapefruit will be broken out. It doesn't need to be too small.

4. 

   Step4:Add sugar, add water and cook over the fire. It will all disperse during the mixing process. I added a little less sugar in the boiling process than in the figure.

5. 

   Step5:Change the fire to a smaller one. Cook until it's darker and sticky.

6. 

   Step6:When the temperature drops, mix in honey (the amount of honey is about half of the volume of the cooked grapefruit). You can also mix it according to your taste and demand. The winter honey I use. So when the grapefruit is still warm, it will be mixed in. Otherwise, it will not be mixed.

7. 

   Step7:Then cook the grapefruit sugar mentioned above. Boil until the pomelo peel is transparent. Turn off the fire if the sugar is thick.

8. 

   Step8:This is the finished product. If it's specially made for grapefruit sugar, you can leave it a little thicker. The taste is better when you boil it. But you must soak it thoroughly. Before you boil it, you must blanch it with water. Otherwise, it's spicy and bitter.

9. 

   Step9:One grapefruit for both. It can be finished in more than half an hour. Cool thoroughly and seal the jar. The taste is better after a period of fermentation. Grapefruit sugar can be eliminated directly.
