    Grapefruit Marmalade

    1 to 3 Texas Ruby Red or Rio Star grapefruit
    1 lemon
    1-1/2 cups water
    1/8 teaspoon baking soda
    5 cups (2-1/4 pounds) sugar
    1/2 (6-ounce) bottle liquid fruit pectin

    Remove skins in quarters from grapefruit and lemon.
    Set fruit aside.
    Lay quarters flat; shave off and discard almost all white part (a
    serrated grapefruit spoon makes a handy tool).
    With a sharp knife or scissors, slice rind very thin.
    Combine rind, water and baking soda in large saucepan.
    Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, 20 minutes, stirring
    occasionally.
    Chop peeled grapefruit and lemon; discard seeds.
    Add to cooked rind and continue simmering 10 minutes.
    Measure 3 cups fruit mixture into large saucepan.
    Add sugar to fruit in pan; mix well.
    Place over high heat; bring to a full, rolling boil, stirring
    constantly.
    Boil hard 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in pectin at
    once. Skim off any foam. Stir and skim 7 minutes.
    Ladle into hot sterile jars and seal.

    Note:
    A simple technique to remove peel:
    Halve grapefruit and run thumbnail around edge between
    rind and sections. Continue to insert thumb into opening
    until fruit and peel are separated. Before chopping fruit,
    cut away any white membrane with serrated knife.
