INGREDIENTS for Buntan Marmalade
- 1 Buntan (Pomelo) peel (150g)
- 120g granulated sugar
(80% of the Buntan peel weight) - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS for Buntan Marmalade
STEP
Cut Buntan
- Scrub the Buntan peel with salt and wash. Cut off the top and bottom of the Buntan, then cut the peel into 8 equal parts and peel.
- Cut the Buntan peel (with the white part still on) into 3mm sticks and weigh them.
- Prepare granulated sugar weighing about 80% of the weight of the Buntan peel.
STEP
Parboil Buntan
- Put the Buntan peel and plenty of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil on low heat for 5 minutes and drain in a colander.
- Repeat this one more time. Soak it in water for 30 minutes to remove the bitterness, then drain it.
STEP
Simmer Buntan
- Add the peel, granulated sugar (80% of the peel weight), and lemon juice to a pot, mix, and let stand for about 20 minutes.
- When the granulated sugar melts and water comes out, bring it to a boil over the medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30minutes until the water evaporates, stirring occasionally.
- Put the marmalade in a sterilized storage jar while still hot. Cover the jar and invert it upside down to cool.
NOTES
- The white part of the peel has a bitter taste. If you don’t like bitter taste, please scrape it off a little.
- Please use an acid-resistant pot such as stainless steel or enamel.
- How to sterilize the jar by boiling
1. Wash the storage jar thoroughly with dishwashing detergent and dry it.
2. Place a dishcloth on the bottom of the pot and place the bottle on top.
3. Add enough water to cover the jar and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Turn the jar upside down and let it dry.
