Quick Grapefruit Marmalade

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 large pink grapefruit
• 3 cups sugar
• 6 cups water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Recipe

• 1 slice the grapefruit very very thinly with a sharp knife, into flat slices. then cut these into strips, and cut the strips into smaller bits. keep all the juice that flows out, if it's a juicy grapefruit.
• 2 bring 6 cups of water to a boil, and then add the grapefruit slices and juice.
• 3 keep at a low boil, adding the sugar. continue boiling for quite some time (20-30 minutes), until it begins getting thicker.
• 4 the tricky part is knowing when to stop boiling. if you wait too long, it will become too thick when it cools. the important thing to know is it thickens a bit when cooling, so you have to stop it before it reaches the desired consistency. i put a porcelain dish in the fridge, then pour a little onto the dish - if it congeals a little, then it's ready.
• 5 before you bottle it, eat it with bread while it's still warm - it's delicious!
• 6 pour in any clean bottle, and refrigerate.
