This fragrant citrus marmalade balances grapefruit’s natural bitterness with sugar. A double-boiling method reduces the bitterness, adding a tart-sweet freshness to the breakfast table.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the peel

25 min

Cut the grapefruit peel into thin strips and boil it twice, changing the water each time to reduce the bitterness.

2

Prepare the grapefruit

15 min

Remove the inner membranes from the grapefruit and separate the segments into pieces. Combine them with the boiled peel strips.

3

Boil with the sugar

30 min

Put the mixture in a wide pot with the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the peel softens.

4

Thicken and fill the jars

10 min

Add the lemon juice and cook until the marmalade thickens. Important: Check the set by dropping some onto a plate and looking for a trail. While still boiling, fill sterilized jars and seal them.

Reminder

Important: To reduce the grapefruit’s bitterness, boil the peels twice, changing the water each time. This recipe contains no wheat, dairy, or eggs; it is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling marmalade and store them in a cool, dark place.
