Grapefruit and orange jam is a traditional homemade sweet, perfect to spread on slices of bread or to fill cakes and cookies. The recipe dates back to ancient times and is made using only fresh grapefruits and oranges, which give the jam a balanced citrus flavor. Preparing it requires only a few steps and a few ingredients, but the result is a jam with an intense and genuine flavor.
Peel 3 grapefruits, first removing the outer part and then the inner white part which you will soak separately
Cut the rest of the fruit into small pieces and soak it covered in water
Juice 3 large oranges, cut the rest into pieces, and soak it overnight and bring to a boil
Drain and add to the pieces of grapefruit
Add enough water to cover and boil until the fruit is softened
Add the orange juice, weigh it, and add an equal amount of sugar
Boil, stirring occasionally, until the jam is ready
Pour it while still warm into jars, let it cool, and seal as previously indicated
If you think you won't use the jam immediately, you can also seal the jars by dripping liquid wax along the edge of the sealing lid
