Pink Grapefruit And Pomegranate Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• Using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove peel from the grapefruit in large strips than thinly slice it to make 1/4 cup. (try not to get too much pith with it, it can make it bitter).
• In a small saucepan, combine peel and water. Bring to a boil over high
• heat then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes or
• until the peel is softened. Set aside.
• Remove and discard any remaining peel and pith from grapefruit. Finely chop grapefruit, discarding seeds and any connective membranes.
• Measure to make 3 cups, including juices.
• In a large nonreactive saucepan, combine grapefruit, cooked peel with liquid and pomegranate juice.
• Bring to a full boil over high heat, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in pectin until dissolved. Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
• Add sugar in a steady stream, stirring constantly. Return to a full boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Boil hard for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Stir for 5 to 8 minutes to prevent floating rind. Ladle into prepared jars leaving a 1/4" headspace.
• Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.

Steps:

• Peel grapefruit using a sharp knife. Slice the bitter white pith from the peel, leaving just a thin layer on the peel. Discard the pith. Cut the peel into thin (1/8 inches thick) slices and place in a medium bowl. (I found this easiest do do by cutting the peel in about 8 sections - I could then flatten it out and remove most of the white pith with my knife).
• Cut the grapefruit into sections, removing the membrane and seeds. Add the sections and any juice to the bowl. Stir in sugar. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours - this is to tenderize the peel.
• Stir the orgeat and pectin into the bowl. Transfer to the bread pan fitted with the kneading paddle. Select the jam cycle and start.
• Scrape down the sides 5 and 10 minutes into the cycle.
• Transfer the marmalade to clean jars. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate. Keeps refrigerated for 4 to 6 weeks.
• Note1: Orgeat syrup is an almond-flavored syrup. It is used in cocktails or to flavor coffees.
• Note2: This makes a tart, English-style marmalade. For a sweeter marmalade, increase the sugar to 2 cups and the orgeat to 1/3 cup.

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.
