I'm new to canning, so when I find a recipe that doesn't involve pectin or cheesecloth, I'm happy. This is another Nigella Lawson recipe, only slightly altered by me. I like really bitter and rich marmalade. If you don't, just use 1 kg of white sugar and halve the lemon juice.

Steps:
- In a large pot, place the two grapefruit in just enough water to make them float freely.
- Bring to a boil, and let boil for two hours (add water from a kettle if too much boils away and the grapefruit touch the bottom).
- Drain the grapefruit, discard water and let fruit cool (or else you'll burn your hands!).
- Slice the grapefruit as finely as possible, and chop a bit. This is tedious, but not difficult. It doesn't have to be uniform.
- Chuck the grapefruit, sugars and lemon juice back into the pot, and dissolve the sugars on low heat.
- Bring to a boil and let bubble until you reach the jell point, about 15 minutes, give-or-take.
- If you like a smoother consistency, blitz in a blender for a bit until you like what you see.
- Ladle into clean, sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for ten minutes.
