Q: What is the key to getting the sugar syrup right for the Candied Pomelo Skewers?
A: The key is to cook the sugar and water mixture on medium heat until it turns into a bubbling caramel color, constantly stirring. To test, dip a chopstick in the syrup and place it in cold water; it should harden immediately.
Q: Can I use other fruits instead of pomelo for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use other fruits, but the unique flavor and texture of pomelo particularly complement the crispy sugar coating.
