Pomelo Honey Jam

Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three traditional festivals in Taiwan. People will give some pomelos as a gift to celebrate The Mid-Autumn Festival because the pronunciation of the word "pomelo" is the same as "bless" in Mandarin.
Also, the harvest season of pomelos begins around Mid-Autumn Festival. When we have a lot of sweet and high nutritional value pomelos, the best way to use them is to make jam. We can spread pomelo honey jam on toast or use it to make cold or hot drinks. It's a simple and good idea. Let's do it!
