My thoughts:

When I flora myself inwards possession of a bunch of lovely pomelos too xiv cups (yes, yous read that correctly, xiv cups) of pomegranate arils, I actually wanted to brand something using the ii together. I had a hunch that pomelo's tart citrus would complement the sweetness juiciness of the pomegranate. Pomelos are usually greenish yellowish within then I was surprised when I cutting into them too they were brilliant pink! This exclusively confirmed that I had to convey pomelo too pomegranate together.

Pomelo segments easily supreme too naturally intermission into smaller pieces which is perfect for jam making. They also select a ton of pith too a sparse peel but since nosotros are making jam too non marmalade, that isn't much of an issue; in that place is simply a lot of flesh to cutting off to acquire to the fruit. I prepped the pomelo the nighttime earlier (the pomegranate had long been processed, the arils tin proceed for a calendar month inwards the fridge) then the side past times side day, I simply had to popular inwards the pot. This made jam making a much less daunting chore inwards the morning! From cooking to jars cooling, it exclusively took nearly xl minutes.

Most of the pomegranate arils held their variety too similar they produce inwards most dishes, they explode when yous seize amongst teeth into them, which is slightly unexpected inwards jam, but real fun. The few that did burst, helped plough the the jam a lovely deep pink.

So, become banking concern tally out your local shop too option upwards simply about pomelos (aka pummelo or pommelo, this huge fruit tastes similar a sweetness grapefruit too was 1 of the commencement citrus fruits)and pomegranates spell they are inwards season.
