Grapefruit Marmalade

Recipe Description

I truly believe that this Grapefruit Marmalade will quickly become the most popular choice to spread on your toast, croissants or breakfast bagels in the morning. Made from just 4 ruby red grapefruits and 3 cups of white sugar, the sweetness and tartness come together to make the best marmalade yet. This year it’s time to cut out as many store bought products as possible!

I tried making the Grapefruit Marmalade last weekend and it was super easy. The balance of sweet and tart is perfect, and it reminds me of mornings at my grandma's house.
