NOTES:
The Pomelo is a great fruit that is the size of a grapefruit with sweet individual nodules inside. If you can get hold of it you remove the skin and all of the pith. The fruit then falls apart. The only similar taste would be a mix of green apple and a pink lady apple. This would work well but, if you can get it, get the Pomelo; it is a really delicate apple flavour that doesn’t have the fibrous feeling in the mouth of apple. If you are using it the chunks should be about the size of your thumb (assuming you are not minus your thumbs).
