Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. Using a small sharp knife, peel rind thinly from grapefruits making sure not to remove too much pith. Slice the rind thinly ; place in a large plastic bag or ceramic bowl.
2. Peel off as much pith from grapefruits as possible ; reserve pith. Finely chop flesh ; reserve any pips. Measure pulp and place into same bowl as rind. Add 200ml of water for each cup of pulp. Tie reserved pith and pips in a piece of muslin with kitchen string. Place into same bowl with pulp. Cover ; stand overnight.
3. Place fruit mixture into a large heavy-based pan ; bring to boil. Simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until rind is tender. Cool slightly ; remove muslin bag.
4. Measure fruit mixture ; return to same pan. Add 1 cup of sugar for each cup of fruit mixture. Stir over low heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil ; boil, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until a small amount of marmalade jells when tested on a cold saucer.
