I made this recipe for the first time probably 20 years ago, and I still remember it, so that’s how good it is. So different than store bought, give it a try.
Tip : Try to get fruit with seeds, the seeds contain pectin which helps the marmalade set.
Ingredients
- 1 large pink grapefruit zested and juice
- 1 large orange (2 oranges if no grapefruit) zested and juice
- 1 large lemon zested and juice
- 1 cup water
- equal amount of sugar to water after cooking
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
- Zest 1 large pink grapefruit, 1 large orange (2 oranges if no grapefruit) and 1 large lemon
- Put zest in a small sauce pan and barely cover with 1 cup water, bring to a boil.
- Strain water from zest, cover with water again and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Separate fruit from membranes and pith; save juice, fruit and seeds.
- Put seeds and the fruit pulp in a small sauce pan with enough water to cover, bring to a boil then simmer for about 20 minutes, or until reduced by 1/3.
- Strain pulp through a fine sieve and measure liquid.
- Measure an equal amount of sugar to the remaining amount of liquid, combine with liquid and return both to a small sauce pan.
- Add zest to sugar and liquid, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
