RED GRAPEFRUIT JELLY

We are first year canners and this was definitely our favorite recipe. We just peeled the grapefruit and put it all through a food mill, but juice the grapefruit however you see fit. Watch for the seeds! It was easy and it felt really safe for us to try. The original recipe called for commercial grapefruit juice (what a travesty) and red food coloring (ick, we liked the pale pink color).

Time 30m

Yield 6 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 cups fresh squeezed red grapefruit juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
7 cups granulated sugar
2 (3 ounce) envelopes liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Combine juices and sugar.
  • Bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly skim off any foam.
  • Stir in liquid pectin.
  • Ladle into hot sterilized jars leaving about 1/4 inch headspace and cover with lids and rings. Process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes to seal.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy grapefruits: The quality of your jelly will depend on the quality of your grapefruits. Look for fruits that are heavy for their size, have a deep red color, and are free of blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the zest from the grapefruits: This will help to extract the maximum amount of flavor from the fruit.
  • Be careful not to boil the jelly for too long: Overcooking can cause the jelly to become tough and chewy. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for the specified amount of time.
  • Use a candy thermometer to test the doneness of the jelly: The jelly is ready when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
  • Pour the jelly into sterilized jars and seal them immediately: This will help to prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

Red grapefruit jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or waffles. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or chicken, or as a filling for pies and tarts. With its bright color and tangy flavor, red grapefruit jelly is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
