My DH recently bought a couple of pink grapefruit by mistake. He cannot eat them and I’m not too fond of them. Are there any suggestions of what I can make using them? … pink grapefruit marmalade ... pink grapefruit anything?
Thanks
-
Marina, use my L emon and carrot Marmalade recipe and replace the lemons with the grapefruit.
-
Thanks for the suggestion, Chookie, I'll try that this weekend and see how it goes.
-
Marina, Judy has used this recipe and substituted oranges, with success.
-
I made this last night. I'm not a marmalade eater, I've got to admit, but I think this must have turned out well because it tastes like a lovely mild marmalade! Very orange in colour but a lovely consistency. Easy ingredients and easy to follow recipe, I just sat back and caught up on some reading whilst it cooked.
I'll give some to my friends and neighbours and get their feed-back.
Thanks for giving me the idea, Chookie.

Marina , glad it turned our OK. Can be used in cakes and Hot X Buns, instead of peel.
-
Yes, you're right, Chookie, it would be very tasty in those I also read somewhere that you can used it as a sauce with desserts - sadly, can't remember which it was.
-
I think that would be steamed puds.

I think there is a big difference between bought marmalade and home made Marina. I've never been a lover of bought marmalade but quite enjoy Chookie's recipe whenever I have it on toast. You can also use marmalade in marinades - check out some of the recipes here.

I would never have thought of using marmalade as a marinade - wonder how it would go marinating tofu? Unfortunately I will never find out as DH cannot eat grapefruit for the same reason as you!
I lined all my jars of marmalade up on the shelf in my larder yesterday afternoon and they look lovely - glowing orange next to the dark worcestershire sauce! However, I will be giving my jars of marmalade away (I'm thinking of naming it Marina's Mystery Marmalade!).
-
Great name. I'm afraid I am not a marmalade lover nor is DH. DD ate the last lot I made and requested that I don't make anymore for a while.
-
That was very subtly put by DD, Cookie. The marmalade was one of those fun things we all tend to make from time to time .... just because we can!
-
These comments prompted me to have marmalade on my toast this morning instead of vegemite :-))
-
I love Marmalade, especially a sweet one. In fact , being on this diet, I love all food. ;D ;D ;D

It's very hard dieting Chookie as you crave all the foods you shouldn't have :'( Carrot and celery sticks just aren't the same as a bar of chocolate :D :D

CC, I seem to cope at home, it is when we eat out that I seem to have a problem. But I will press on ;D
