Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large grapefruits, whole
1 tablespoon gingerroot, shreds
2 1/2 cups water
4 cups sugar

  • Add back the cooking liquid and the sugar; heat gently until sugar dissolves.
  • Bring to a boil and then boil for three minutes.
  • Meanwhile---finely slice the peel (or process for a few seconds in food processor); stir peels into boiling syrup, continue until mixture reaches 200*F (for sea level).
  • Remove pan from heat; skim foam, let stand for 5 minutes to stabilize fruit throughout.
  • Spoon marmalade into hot jars, seal with two-part lids.
