Grapefruit And Grenadine Marmalade

I love this marmalade - the tart bitterness of the grapefruit juxtaposes the sweetness. This is ideal on a slice of buttered breakfast toast (with tea).

Steps

Using vegetable peeler , remove peel from 2 grapefruits in long strips.
Cut peel into fine julienne.
Add peel to large pot of boiling water and cook 5 minutes.
Drain , rinse under cold water , and drain again.
Peel remaining grapefruit.
Remove white pith from all the grapefruits.
Working over large bowl to catch juice , cut between membrane of grapefruits with small sharp knife to release segments.
Mix segments with grapefruit juice.
Mix in lemon juice.
Combine grapefruit mixture and 6 cups water in heavy , medium saucepan.
Boil 30 minutes.
Add sugar and peel and stir until sugar dissolves.
Continue boiling about 30 minutes , stirring frequently and reducing heat if necessary to prevent sticking.
Check the marmalade at this point.
Drop 1 tblsp of marmalade onto a chilled saucer and put in freezer.
If it wrinkles when pushed after 2 minutes of cooling , then it is done.
Mix in grenadine.
Spoon hot marmalade into hot , sterilized jars , wiping rim of jar clean.
Seal t.
