You are probably referring to a pummelo or pomello is also known as a Shaddock in Great Britain.

The largest of the citrus family, is native to Malaysia.Now grown in many countries including North America. An ancestor to the grapefruit, they can reach 12 to 18 inches in diameter. They have a thick outer rind and pith containing a firm flesh with less juice than grapefruit. Very high in Vitamin C and potassium and low in calories. The inside can be from pale yellow to bright red depending on variety and flavor ranges from lip smacking tart to honey sweet. Mouth feel is very much like orange and grapefruit but less juicy.
