 Recipe by: Country Christmas Recipes


   Remove peel from white part of lemons and orange in long strips with


 sharp paring knife, making sure there is no white on the peel. Stack


 strips, cut into thin slivers. Combine lemon and orange peels, water and


 baking soda in 2 qt saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat


 to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.


   Meanwhile, peel grapefruit; remove white pith from grapefruit, lemons and


 orange; discard peel and pith. Separate fruit into sections. With fingers,


 remove pulp from membrane of each section over large saucepan to save


 juice. Dice fruit sections into same saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover and


 simmer 10 min. Measure 5 cups fruit mixture into 6 qt saucepan or Dutch


 oven.


   Wash jars, lids and bands. Leave jars in hot water. Place lids and bands


 in large pan of water. Mix pectin into fruit mixture. Bring to a rolling


 boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Immediately stir in sugar.


 Bring to a rolling boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from


 heat; skim off foam with metal spoon. Bring water with lids and bands to a


 boil. Lade hot mixture into hot jars leaving 1/2" space at top. Run metal


 spatula around inside of jar to remove air bubbles. Wipe tops and sides of


 jar rims clean. Place hot lids and bands on jar. Screw bands tightly, but


 do not force. To process, place jars in boiling water; boil 10 min. Remove


 jars and cool on wire racks. Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place up to


 12 months. Refrigerate after opening up to 6 months. Makes about seven


 1/2-pint jars.
