How to Make Red Grapefruit Jelly
- **Prepare the Grapefruit:** Peel and remove any white pith from 4 large red grapefruits (about 4 cups). Use a food mill to remove the pulp and seeds, reserving only the juice. (Alternatively, you can juice the grapefruits using a juicer, ensuring all seeds are removed.)
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large saucepan, combine the grapefruit juice (4 cups) with 4 cups of granulated sugar.
- **Bring to a Boil:** Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Maintain a rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- **Remove Foam & Add Pectin:** Remove the pan from the heat and quickly skim off any foam using a spoon. Stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) of liquid pectin according to package directions. Return to low heat and stir continuously for 1 minute to dissolve pectin completely.
- **Ladle into Jars:** Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized 1/2 pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean and firmly attach lids and rings.
- **Process Jars:** Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude; consult a canning guide for accurate timing). Turn off heat and let jars sit in the water for 5 minutes. Remove jars and let cool completely.
- **Check Seals:** After cooling, press down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, the jar is sealed. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
