How to Make Grapefruit And Grenadine Marmalade

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from 2 grapefruits in long strips.
  2. Cut the peel into fine julienne strips (about 1/8 inch wide).
  3. Add the grapefruit peel to a large pot of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Drain the peel, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
  5. Peel the remaining grapefruits, removing all the white pith.
  6. Using a small sharp knife, carefully cut between the membranes of the grapefruits to release the segments. Work over a large bowl to catch the juice.
  7. Combine the grapefruit segments and juice in a large bowl.
  8. Stir in the lemon juice.
  9. In a heavy-bottomed, medium saucepan, combine the grapefruit mixture and 6 cups of water.
  10. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 30 minutes.
  11. Add the 4 cups of sugar and the prepared grapefruit peel to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  12. Continue boiling for approximately 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat as needed.
  13. **Wrinkle Test:** To check for doneness, drop 1 tablespoon of marmalade onto a chilled saucer and place it in the freezer.
  14. After 2 minutes, remove from freezer and gently push the marmalade. If it wrinkles, it's ready. If not, continue boiling and retest every 5 minutes.
  15. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of grenadine syrup.
  16. Carefully ladle the hot marmalade into hot, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  17. Wipe the rims of the jars clean.
  18. Seal the jars tightly.
  19. Allow the jars to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for up to 3 months.
