How to Make Orange Lemon Grapefruit Marmalade
- Juice the oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. Reserve the juice and set aside.
- Thinly slice the peels of all fruits. Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick.
- Quickly rinse the sliced peels under cold running water to remove any bitterness.
- Combine the sliced peels, reserved juice, and 4 cups of water in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 3 hours to allow the peels to soften.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, partially covered, stirring occasionally.
- Add 4 cups of sugar. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the setting point is reached (the mixture wrinkles when a small amount is dropped onto a cold plate). This should take about 20-30 minutes. Use a thermometer for accuracy; aim for 220°F (104°C).
- Carefully pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars tightly.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation (optional but recommended).
