Hi All,
Just to report on a great combination marmalade.
I used Pomelo about 3/4 of a very big one ( grapefruit family)
2lb 4oz of Ruby red Grapefruit available from Tescos
2 large lemons
6 pints water
5lb sugar ( ordinary granulated no pectin)
What a great marmalade this is!
Good looking in rich colour...with a delicious clean ''tangy'' taste.
Definitely a winner!
Only tip is: watch out for small pips arising as you boil up. They are so tiny from the Pomelo they are not noticeable when coming to cut the fruit up. But so easy to remove as waiting for it to boil/set.
Warm wishes from Pam
Hello Ruth,
I have seen pomelos in the supermarkets - I guess it may depend on the clientele - if no-one buys them, then the store discontinues the line. They are like large grapefruits.
I am wondering, though, perhaps grapefruits could be used without the pomelo? (Especially red ones for the colour)
Good luck in your search
Evening all from Cornwall :O
I find Pomelo completely different in taste and smell to Grapefruits ( although in the family I believe?)
To my mind pomelo's have a distinct mildly'' perfumed'' smell.
In the recipe they definitely add an extra ''zing'' more so than grapefruit's.
I purchase the Pomelo from Lidls stores 2 for £2 which I think good value.
Am even being frugal and saving the peel to crystallise for cake making!
Warm regards from Pam
