Cooking Tips

  • To sterilize the jars, wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Place the jars in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let them boil for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water and let them air dry.
  • Make sure to use fresh ruby red grapefruit juice for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled juice as it may contain additives or preservatives.
  • If you prefer a smoother jelly, strain the grapefruit juice before using it in the recipe to remove any pulp or seeds.

Storage and Serving

  • Once opened, store the jelly in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 weeks.
  • Serve the ruby red grapefruit jelly on freshly toasted bread or scones for a delicious breakfast or snack.
  • You can also use the jelly as a glaze for meats like chicken or pork. Simply brush it on during the last few minutes of cooking for a tangy and flavorful finish.
