zest of 2 medium grapefruits I like to use one of these zesters for perfect size strips of zest
1 ⅓ cups fresh grapefruit sections roughly chopped, including juice (from about 2 medium-size grapefruits)
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 ¼ cups sugar measured into separate bowl
¾ cup water
1 box SURE-JELL Fruit Pectin I like SURE-JELL but you can use similar powdered fruit pectins

Directions:
Wash plastic containers or glass jars along with lids in hot soapy water. Rinse with hot water. Dry thoroughly.
Add grapefruit, zest, grapefruit, strawberries, and sugar and stir until well combined. Place mixture in microwave and heat on high for 3 minutes. Stir again until sugar is quite dissolved. Repeat 3 minutes in the microwave and stir for several minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 min. Add to fruit mixture along with lemon juice; stir 3 min. or until sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
Fill containers to within ½ inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Marmalade is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
