How to Make Grapefruit And Pineapple Marmalade

  1. Wash and thoroughly scrub grapefruits and pineapple.
  2. Cut grapefruits in half and remove all the pith and white membrane. Segment the grapefruit, reserving the juice separately.
  3. Peel and core pineapple. Dice into small, uniform pieces.
  4. Combine grapefruit segments, juice, pineapple, sugar, and water in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  5. Bring mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  6. Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Continue to simmer until the marmalade reaches setting point (approximately 220°F/104°C on a candy thermometer).
  7. To test for setting point: Place a small spoonful of marmalade onto a chilled plate. Let cool slightly. If it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it's ready.
  8. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  9. Ladle hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  10. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time according to your altitude – see resources on safe canning practices).
  11. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. Check for seals (lids should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
