Japanese Pearl Kan Citrus Peel
- 2 "Pearl Kan" - type of citrus (with skin)
- 300 grams Granulated sugar
- 300 ml Water
- The appearance is not very nice, but these are the "pearl kan" that I took from home.
- They are also called "sour pomelo."
- Wash the pearl kan and peel the skin off in 4-6 sections.
- Weigh just the skins.
- I had 294 g of skins so now you can prepare the same amount of water and sugar (300 g) needed to boil in Step 8.
- Fill a pot that can withstand strong acidity, such as enamel, with lots of water, and boil the skins.
- Once the skins have been soaked completely in the boiling water, cover with a plate and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Dump out the water and repeat Steps 4-6 one more time.
- Gently use a knife to scrape off the outside skin.
- Soak in water overnight.
- Wash in water while replacing with clean water occasionally.
- Place the peels in a pot and cover with 1/3 of the sugar and water.
- Let simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Add another 1/3 of the sugar and simmer for 10 more minutes.
- If there is still a lot of water at this point, remove the skins and let it boil down about halfway.
- Add the remaining 1/3 of sugar and return the peels to the pot.
- Simmer for 15 minutes.
- When the liquid has lessened, shake the pot so that they don't burn.
- Place the peels and liquid into a dish that has been sterilized by boiling and store in the refrigerator.
- If it has boiled down thoroughly, it will keep for 3 months.
