Begin by selecting the ripest and juiciest pink grapefruits, ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

Carefully peel the grapefruits, using a potato peeler, peel the grapefruit to remove the coloured part in long strips. Reserving the vibrant pink zest and succulent flesh.

The kitchen will soon be filled with the invigorating aroma of fresh grapefruit as the marmalade slowly thickens to a glossy perfection.

Once the marmalade reaches the desired consistency, leave to cool 10 minutes, then ladle it into sterilised jars and let it cool.

The result is a rosy-hued taste that exudes the essence of sun-kissed grapefruits.

Spread this Pink Grapefruit Marmalade generously on warm scones or delicate tea sandwiches, and let the citrusy symphony enchant your taste buds during your afternoon tea ritual.

Preparation 1 hour | Cooking approx.1 hour 30 minutes

Makes 6 x 450g jars

Ingredients:

  • 1kg pink or red grapefruit
  • 1-litre water
  • 1.5kg Tate & Lyle Preserving Sugar

How To Make This Recipe:

Method:

  1. Firstly, using a potato peeler, peel the grapefruit to remove the coloured part in long strips. Use a sharp knife to shred this citrus peel finely.
  2. Halve the grapefruit and squeeze the juice from them, reserving the pips. Put the juice into a preserving pan or large saucepan with the shredded peel.
  3. Chop the pulp roughly and put it onto a large square of muslin with the pips. Tie up the corners tightly and put it into the saucepan. Add the water.
  4. Put the saucepan on the heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes to soften the peel, then remove the lid and simmer gently for a further 20 minutes, so that the liquid reduces by about one-third. Remove the muslin bag, squeezing it with a wooden spoon to push as much of the liquid as possible back into the saucepan.
  5. Tip the Tate & Lyle Preserving Sugar into the saucepan. Stir over a low heat until it has dissolved. Increase the heat and boil steadily for 20 minutes, taking care to keep an eye on the marmalade to make sure that it doesn’t boil too rapidly.

Meanwhile:

Meanwhile:

  1. Sterilize 6 x 450g jars by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing well, and placing them in a low oven at 150°C/Fan 130°C/Gas Mark 2 for 10 minutes.
  2. Test the marmalade for setting point. To check, remove the saucepan from the heat, spoon a little onto a cold plate and leave for 2 minutes – it should wrinkle softly when your finger is pushed over the surface. If this point has not been reached, return the saucepan to the heat and continue to boil for another 2-3 minutes. Test as before until the setting point is reached. (You may need to test several times, though be patient, as this testing is crucial to achieving the correct consistency).
  3. Allow the marmalade to settle for 10 minutes, then pour it into the hot sterilized jars. Leave to cool, then seal and label. Store in a cool place for up to 1 year.

Cook’s Tip: The marmalade will set upon cooling, so long as you have followed the instructions for testing the setting point – even though it looks quite runny when you first pour it into the jars.

    Pink grapefruit is such a beautiful colour and has a wonderful flavour. I imagine it is perfect in marmalade. #creativemuster
