Erin makes a grapefruit shortbread square, but - plot twist! - she uses a pomelo instead of grapefruit (and a little lime zest). Here's what Wikipedia tells us about the pomelo: Pomelo is the largest citrus fruit. It is an ancestor of several cultivated citrus species, including the bitter orange and the grapefruit. It is a natural, non-hybrid, citrus fruit, native to Southeast Asia. Similar in taste to a sweet grapefruit, the pomelo is commonly eaten and used for festive occasions throughout Southeast and East Asia.Erin felt inspired by the Paloma cocktail (see below for the link to our Speakeasy episode about that!) and wanted to make a dessert bar that recreates that grapefruit flavour. The base of the bar is a delicious shortbread cookie crust, which you parbake before adding the topping. Parbaking is when you partially bake the crust without the topping, to ensure a crisp bottom and prevent sogginess when you add the filling. The tricky part of a citrus bar like this is getting the curd topping to set. It's made by whisking sugar, flour, eggs, citrus juice and zest, and a drop of food colouring if you wish. Pour it over the hot crust and then back it goes in the oven to finish it off. If all goes well, you will have a beautiful bar that just screams Springtime and Easter and, I don't know, birthday parties and high tea and summer picnics. FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?
