    3-1/2 cups water
    1/8 tsp. baking soda
    1 box SURE.JELL Fruit Pectin
    1/2 tsp. butter or margarine
    5 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

    Recipe



    BRING boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
    REMOVE and discard colored and white parts of peel from the grapefruit. Finely chop the fruit, reserving any juice; set aside. Remove colored part of peel from half of the orange using a vegetable peeler. Cut peel into thin slivers; place in 4-quart saucepan. Remove and discard remaining colored and white parts of peel from the orange. Finely chop the fruit, reserving any juice. Add to chopped grapefruit and juice; set aside. Remove colored part of peel from half of the lime. Cut into thin slivers; add to saucepan. Remove and discard remaining colored and white parts of peel from the lime. Finely chop the fruit, reserving any juice; mix with chopped grapefruit and orange. Add water and baking soda to saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes. Add prepared fruit mixture; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Measure exactly 4 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot.
    STIR pectin into fruit mixture in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
    LADLE immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
