Cut pomelo rind (w/pulp) into dice (3/4″). Soak in water with lime or apog. Let stand overnight. Next day, wash 3 times and squeeze out water.
Blanch for 10 minutes. Drain. Rinse again. Squeeze. Do the rinsing and squeezing two more times or until bitter taste of rind is removed.
To test, bite the fruit. Make syrup of 2 parts white sugar to 1 part water. Boil pomelo rind in syrup for 10 minutes.
Let stand overnight. Next day, boil again (in the same syrup)for another 10 minutes. Do this for 3 days.
On the 4th day, boil until syrup dries up. Keep stirring while cooking till syrup dries. Spread on a tray, dry under the sun or in oven with a low heat (150 degrees Fahrenheit ) for 1 hour.
