Grapefruit Marmalade

Ingredients

  • 6 grapefruit
  • 1 orange
  • 4 lemons
  • 1 pound sugar, for each lb of fruit
  • 6 cup cold water, for each lb of fruit

Directions

  1. Wash the grapefruit, lemons and orange carefully.
  2. Cut each in quarters.
  3. Slice the quarters through the rind and pulp, making thin slices.
  4. Weigh the fruit, and for each pound allow six cups of cold water.
  5. Allow to stand with the water on the fruit for twenty-four hours.
  6. Let all boil gently until the rind is very tender.
  7. No particular test can be given for this, as some fruit is much tougher than others.
  8. Set aside for four hours.
  9. Drain off the liquid.
  10. Weigh the fruit mixture, and for each pound allow a pound of sugar.
  11. Let cook slowly until the mixture thickens or 'jellies' when tried on a dish.
  12. Be careful not to get the mixture too thick, as it will thicken somewhat more upon cooling.
