GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE
Ruby red grapefruit and sugar is all you need to make a slightly bitter, sweet, and tangy marmalade. Try this on toast or, for a twist, use it in any recipe calling requiring orange jam or marmalade. I have used it on meatballs and chicken wings with delicious results. Make sure you use organic grapefruit to ensure an edible zest.

Steps:
- Inspect two 5-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until marmalade is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Thoroughly wash and dry the grapefruits. Run a zester around 2 grapefruits to produce ribbons of zest. Set aside. Cut away thin strips of peel from the other two grapefruits with a sharp paring knife.
- Peel off all remaining outer white parts of the fruit and discard. Cut the grapefruits into wheels. Remove any seeds.
- Put grapefruit wheels and zest strips into a non-reactive saucepan. Add sugar and stir well to cover fruit. Heat over medium-high heat until bubbling, mixing constantly. Smash the heated fruit until it liquefies. Reduce heat to low and cook over a steady boil, stirring often. Remove and discard any persistent white froth that won't disappear after being stirred. Continue to cook for about 10 minutes until marmalade begins to coat the back of a spoon.
- Add zest ribbons and cook for 5 minutes more. Place a small amount of marmalade on a plate and put it in the freezer. Test the consistency after 3 minutes.
- Remove the marmalade from the heat when the freezer sample meets your desired consistency.
- Pack grapefruit jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:
- Mix the grapefruit, bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and sugar together in a medium bowl.
- Combine the lime juice and olive oil (mix well) and pour over the grapefruit mixture.
- Toss well, cover, and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Select the ripest grapefruits: Look for grapefruits that are heavy for their size, have smooth, unblemished skin, and give slightly when gently squeezed.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the grapefruits more easily and cleanly.
- Remove the pith: The pith is the white, bitter part of the grapefruit. Use a sharp knife to cut around the edges of the pith and then use a spoon to scoop it out.
- Dice the grapefruits: Cut the grapefruits into small, even pieces. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salsa.
- Choose fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients.
- Adjust the heat level to your liking: If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapeño peppers. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño peppers before adding them to the salsa.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salsa more refreshing.
- Serve the salsa with your favorite Mexican dishes: Salsa is a great accompaniment to tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos.
