    Pomelos are an ancient grapefruit from China. They are sweeter than a regular grapefruit, and take a little work to get to the flesh. Cut through the skin and dig in! You will need to remove the tasty pink flesh from the white pulp. This powerful immune booster is a great snack or addition to salad!

    Have you saved any roselle from previous weeks? I think it’s something special to have a mostly local feast on the Thanksgiving table. I’ll be adding some spices like nutmeg and some fresh grated ginger to this “mock-cranberry sauce” recipe: https://toadstoolsfairyrings.com/2016/11/15/roselle-mock-cranberry-sauce/
