  • About

Grapefruit and elderflower complement each other very well, and make a refreshing marmalade. Pink grapefruit tends to be sweeter than yellow grapefruit, but you can use either in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg/2 lb 4 oz pink grapefruits
  • 500

Method

  1. Halve the grapefruits and lemons and squeeze out the juice and pips. Tie the pips, and any extra membrane that has come away during squeezing, in a piece of muslin/cheesecloth.
  2. Either by hand or using the shredding attachment of a food processor, thinly slice the grapefruit and lemon peel, with its pith, into shreds.
  3. Put the grapefruit and lemon juice
