Tart Pink Grapefruit Marmalade Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and bake until golden and set, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For the filling: Mix the condensed milk, egg yolks and grapefruit zest and juice in the bowl of a mixer, then mix on high until smooth and thick. Add a few drops of the food coloring, if using, to give it a ruby grapefruit color, and stir thoroughly to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until set, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with whipped cream.

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:

• For pink grapefruit marmalade:
• Cook rind in heavy medium saucepan of boiling water 1 minute; drain. Bring more water to boil in same pan; add rind, boil 1 minute, and drain. Repeat 3 more times (for total of 5 times).
• Combine blanched rind, sugar, grapefruit juice, and star anise in same medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is almost dry, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Discard star anise. Transfer mixture to mini processor and puree until smooth. Transfer marmalade to small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.
• For pastries:
• Blend flour, powdered sugar, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter; using on/off turns, cut in butter until fine meal forms. Add whipping cream; blend until moist clumps form. Shape dough into thin square; wrap and chill 30 minutes.
• Line small baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch-thick square, trimming if necessary. Cut six 3x2-inch rectangles; transfer to prepared sheet. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake pastries uncovered until pale golden but brown at edges, about 12 minutes. Cool pastries on sheet.
• For grapefruit:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut top and bottom 1/2 inch off each grapefruit. Stand each on 1 flat end. Following contour of fruit, cut off all peel and white pith. Working over bowl, cut grapefruits between membranes, releasing segments into bowl.
• Drain grapefruit segments well. Arrange segments, on sides and spaced apart, on prepared sheet. Bake segments until dry to touch but still moist inside, about 1 hour. Cool on sheet.
• Spread 1 tablespoon marmalade on each pastry. Place pastries on plates. Arrange 3 grapefruit segments on each. Scoop Edamame Ice Cream alongside, garnish with celery leaves, and sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds.
