I grew up eating marmalade and toast for breakfast so this recipe brings back some great memories. It’s tart, tangy, and delicious on biscuits. I think pink grapefruit marmalade gives the extra flavor needed for an amazing tasting marmalade.

Take the white ribs and seeds out of the middle and place in a cheese cloth (or clean old white t-shirt).

Slice the skins into fine strips and add to the pot.
Add 7 cups of water.
Hang cheese cloth with seeds and membranes over the side of the pot where it is submerged in the water.

Add sugar to taste. Cook over medium/low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue until rinds are soft (1-1/2 to 2 hours). Remove cheesecloth, carefully squeezing out all remaining liquid into the pot. Discard contents of cheesecloth.

Increase heat and bring mixture to boil. When thermometer reaches 220F it is at jelly stage and ready to set (about 20 minutes).
Carefully ladle into canning jars. Leave about 1/4 inch head space so expansion won’t break the jar. Seal jars and put in a water bath (I just washed out the same pot and filled it with water to boil). Let jars sit in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Remove jars from bath and allow to cool before storing. Enjoy!
