We are first year canners and this was definitely our favorite recipe. We just peeled the grapefruit and put it all through a food mill, but juice the grapefruit however you see fit. Watch for the seeds! It was easy and it felt really safe for us to try. The original recipe called for commercial grapefruit juice (what a travesty) and red food coloring (ick, we liked the pale pink color).

Time 30m

Yield 6 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 cups fresh squeezed red grapefruit juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
7 cups granulated sugar
2 (3 ounce) envelopes liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Combine juices and sugar.
  • Bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly skim off any foam.
  • Stir in liquid pectin.
  • Ladle into hot sterilized jars leaving about 1/4 inch headspace and cover with lids and rings. Process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes to seal.

Tips:

  • Select the right grapefruits: Choose ripe, firm grapefruits with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with blemishes, soft spots, or signs of spoilage.
  • Prepare the grapefruits properly: Before juicing the grapefruits, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the grapefruits in half and remove the seeds.
  • Use a good quality pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps the jelly set. Make sure to use a high-quality pectin that is specifically designed for jelly making.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: When making jelly, it is important to follow the recipe carefully. Do not substitute ingredients or change the proportions, as this can affect the outcome of the jelly.
  • Test the jelly for doneness: To test the jelly for doneness, place a small amount on a cold plate. If the jelly wrinkles when you push your finger across it, it is ready. If it is still too liquid, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

Red grapefruit jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or pancakes. It can also be used as a filling for pies and tarts. With its bright color and tangy flavor, red grapefruit jelly is a surefire hit at any breakfast or brunch. So next time you have a surplus of grapefruits, give this easy red grapefruit jelly recipe a try!
