Instructions

1Wash the grapefruit, lemons, and orange carefully. Cut each fruit into quarters. Slice the quarters through the rind and pulp, making thin slices.
2Weigh the fruit. For each pound of fruit, add 6 cups of cold water. Allow the fruit and water mixture to stand for twenty-four hours.
3Let the fruit and water mixture boil gently until the rind is very tender. This may take some time, depending on the fruit. Set aside for four hours.
4Drain off the liquid. Weigh the fruit mixture. For each pound of fruit, add a pound of sugar. Let cook slowly until the mixture thickens or "jellies" when tried on a dish. Be careful not to get the mixture too thick, as it will thicken somewhat more upon cooling.
