Red grapefruits are available all year round (unlike Seville oranges) and make a delicious fruity marmalade. Adding crystallised ginger gives an extra tang and enhances the flavour of the fruit. To calculate the weight of the sugar, multiply the weight of the grapefruits by one and a half, so 2 pounds of grapefruit need 3 pounds of sugar. There is no need to measure the amount of water - just make sure that there is just enough water to cover the chopped fruit when you leave it to soak overnight. - Навчання та стиль
I just grate the whole grapefruit skin until I get to the grapefruit itself. Pieces comes out nice and thin.
I never knew what to do with all the grapefruit from my tree (you can only eat so many fresh grapefruit!) and now I know to make marmalade. Thanks so much.
I'm making this now......justbup to the stage of adding the juice from the simmered lemon. The pink fruit looks divine!
How did it turn out I am making it now did you make candied ginger or have some already made? I have never heard about candied ginger I must be living under a rock
I have made this several times. It is so easy , sets well and has a lovely pink colour. Delicious on toast for breakafsat
That grapefruit marmalade looks totally delicious. I m going to try it!
Grapefruit aisle here I come . Tomoz 👍
Lovely, beautiful flavour, thanks for this. 6 grapefruits makes enough marmalade for years!!!
Excellent. There again, because you have a lot you might just eat more and get through it quicker.
It would never last that long in my home!
Highly recommend this recipe. Huge success with yellow grape fruits also... Just a quick note that I used my pressure cooker for the cooking of the fruits cutting down the cooking time dramatically. Didn't have to wait for the overnight soaking just 20 minutes in the pressure cooker and then very quickly adding the sugar bringing it quickly to the boil a couple of times and ....done!!!
Great to hear that the recipe worked for you, Lenia. I used to have a pressure cooker years ago, but not recently, so have never tried one for marmalade. Thank you for letting me know it out turned well.
***** Delicioussss,,, tnx for the recipe...its just so well done, I had no time to do it the next day so I thought of my pressure cooker...The end result ? amazing ..Bravo!
What beautiful marmalade!
Thanks for this video. I have 2 trees here in california. We cook and eat the pith in my country, yet we discard everything else. now I know how to use everything. I love the sound of your voice, can you please do more videos...you should be on TV. Love your voice again. :)
Должно быть вкусно. Спасибо за рецепт, Лиззи ! Я обязательно приготовлю по Вашему рецепту!
beautiful a
nd well explained thank you i tried the bitter orange it turned out awesome

I totally did make some! It turned out awesome :-) I gave some as a gift.
All very clear and based on experience. Excellent !
Lizzie you're terrific
Well described and made simple - perfect!
Great video, clear and concise, well done...I'm off to do some grapefruit shopping : )
Jan, that's fantastic! Now you have to get your friends round and show them how it's done. Spread the word, spread the marmalade. Love, Muv
Nicole - I'm so pleased! You will enjoy making the grapefruit marmalade. It is quicker and easier to cut.
I added a 1/4 cup of Irish Whiskey to mine, lovely.
Excellent Kevin! I bet you suddenly have lots of new friends.
Your recipe is so nice. Thank you so much! Have a nice day
You are so lucky having your own tree!
Great video
is it hot water or cold water for the lemon part?
Thank you. This was really helpful. The local grapefruits here in Sri Lanka are a little bit different (lighter in colour), but it came out quite well.
Glad to hear you got a good result! All our grapefruits here are imported, so we can buy the standard yellow ones, which I am guessing are like the ones you used, and are labelled as white grapefruit, and also we get pink and red varieties. They all work equally well for marmalade.
Thank you very clear and accurate
Hello Shinica, The weight of sugar given in the instructions is the right amount to take away the bitterness.
thanks for this video :)
Question: do you remove the pith from the peels, just leaving the zest, before adding to the sliced fruit flesh?
@cawhittington Great news! Rummage through the box and pick out the firmest soundest fruit you can find. Better slightly underripe than overripe. Good luck - let us know how your marmalade turns out!
Thank you Jan - Have you made any yet? Let me know..
How about adding a little whiskey or brandy?
I make my own sloe gin and it is v. sweet so a glass of that would make an interesting addition.
Neat gin would do the trick. With sloe gin you would be adding extra sugar which you don't need with jam. The alcohol helps the jam keep.
I just have a question, how to remove the bitter taste of the grapefruit in the jam?
I am working on my peels right now but I am so curious about candied Ginger. Now I am wondering if while it’s resting overnight I make some of this ginger with all the sugar I would think raw ginger would be alright after canning and time but I do not want to ruin this. Any suggestions?
Enjoyed your video but as I am deaf could not understand what was said so wonder if you could write the weights n method for me please. Thanks
No, Cshola, you use every part of the fruit. No need to remove anything.
mine didn't set 😣
does the peal have a bitter taste?
With all the sugar in the recipe no, just a citrus tang.
@@Muvandfarve Thanks for replying, despite your post is few years old. It is helpful. I pealed the grapefruits just for being more cautious , I still could taste the bitterness strongly despite the amount sugar I added
Could we add lesser amount of sugar ?
It is the proportions of sugar, acid and pectin that give the set. Reduce the amount of sugar and you will have a runny compote that won't keep.
@@Muvandfarve and I got a runny one today already 😂.
i'm now at my travel in Germany. i can't wait to go back home and use our own pineapple to try!!! :D but i still don't know at which step, you turn on the fire? or didn't you turn it on till the time you said youre going to boil it??? thank you for this amazing video :)
Pineapple? No, that won't work. This recipe is for grapefruit.
awww :( have you ever try a pineapple recipe???
would you like to make a vid for thattttt ????
i totally love our home-growed pineapple, and i really wanna do sth for my family's 'produce" business ><
love your vidssss anyway :) thank you for your replyyy
李怡錚 No, I have never done pineapple jam. Pineapples are very low in pectin and have to be combined with high pectin fruit or have pectin added.
Why don't you do pineapple chutney?
it seems good too :)
but i saw some Taiwanese recipe for Pineapple jam. MAYBY i will go for a try when i go back :D
thank you for the Chutney idea, i had never known about it before D:
