Tart Pink Grapefruit Marmalade

Total Time: 2 hrs 25 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 1 hr 25 mins

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 lbs pink grapefruit (about 4)
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup orgeat syrup
• 1 (1 3/4 ounce) package dry pectin

Recipe

• 1 peel grapefruit using a sharp knife. slice the bitter pith from the peel, leaving just a thin layer on the peel. discard the pith. cut the peel into thin (1/8 inches thick) slices and place in a medium bowl. (i found this easiest do do by cutting the peel in about 8 sections - i could then flatten it out and remove most of the pith with my knife).
• 2 cut the grapefruit into sections, removing the membrane and seeds. add the sections and any juice to the bowl. stir in sugar. cover and refrigerate for 24 hours - this is to tenderize the peel.
• 3 stir the orgeat and pectin into the bowl. transfer to the bread pan fitted with the kneading paddle. select the jam cycle and start.
• 4 scrape down the sides 5 and 10 minutes into the cycle.
• 5 transfer the marmalade to clean jars. let cool, then cover and refrigerate. keeps refrigerated for 4 to 6 weeks.
• 6 note1: orgeat syrup is an almond-flavored syrup. it is used in cocktails or to flavor coffees.
• 7 note2: this makes a tart, english-style marmalade. for a sweeter marmalade, increase the sugar to 2 cups and the orgeat to 1/3 cup.
