• Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove cloves. Add pineapple, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.

• Put grapefruit wheels and zest strips into a non-reactive saucepan. Add sugar and stir well to cover fruit. Heat over medium-high heat until bubbling, mixing constantly. Smash the heated fruit until it liquefies. Reduce heat to low and cook over a steady boil, stirring often. Remove and discard any persistent white froth that won't disappear after being stirred. Continue to cook for about 10 minutes until marmalade begins to coat the back of a spoon.
• Add zest ribbons and cook for 5 minutes more. Place a small amount of marmalade on a plate and put it in the freezer. Test the consistency after 3 minutes.
• Remove the marmalade from the heat when the freezer sample meets your desired consistency.
• Pack grapefruit jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.

• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

• Set aside until the next day.
• Measure and add an equal amount of sugar.
• Bring to the boil and cook until 223F or jelly "sheets" off the spoon (dip a cold spoon into the boiling liquid for only an instant, if 2 drops run together as they drop forming a sheet, the jelly stage has been reached).
• Fill in sterilized jars and seal.

GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE WITH VANILLA AND ANISE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from 1 grapefruit and thinly slice. Remove peel and white pith from remaining grapefruit and discard (you won't want all of the peel and pith in the marmalade). Slice flesh of both grapefruits into rounds; remove any seeds.
• Combine sliced peel, grapefruit, and star anise in a large saucepan; scrape in seeds from vanilla bean and add pod. Toss to combine; pour in 4 cups water and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and gently simmer until reduced by three-quarters, about 1 1/2 hours. Add sugar, return to a simmer, and cook until mixture is thickened and juices are syrupy (mixture will set up when a small amount is spooned onto a cold plate), 1-1 1/2 hours longer.
• Let marmalade cool slightly, then stir in lemon juice. Spoon into clean jars and let cool.
• Do Ahead
• Marmalade can be made 2 months ahead. Cover and chill.

QUICK GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE

Steps:

• Slice the grapefruit very very thinly with a sharp knife, into flat slices. then cut these into strips, and cut the strips into smaller bits. Keep all the juice that flows out, if it's a juicy grapefruit.
• Bring 6 cups of water to a boil, and then add the grapefruit slices and juice.
• Keep at a low boil, adding the sugar. Continue boiling for quite some time (20-30 minutes), until it begins getting thicker.
• The tricky part is knowing when to stop boiling. If you wait too long, it will become too thick when it cools. The important thing to know is it thickens a bit when cooling, so you have to stop it before it reaches the desired consistency. I put a porcelain dish in the fridge, then pour a little onto the dish - if it congeals a little, then it's ready.
• Before you bottle it, eat it with bread while it's still warm - it's delicious!
• Pour in any clean bottle, and refrigerate.

GRAPEFRUIT AND GINGER MARMALADE

Steps:

• Scrub & rinse fruit, put it and the gingerroot into a large sauce-pan; cover & simmer for 2 hours (until soft).

• Add back the cooking liquid and the sugar; heat gently until sugar dissolves.
• Bring to a boil and then boil for three minutes.
• Meanwhile---finely slice the peel (or process for a few seconds in food processor); stir peels into boiling syrup, continue until mixture reaches 200*F (for sea level).
• Remove pan from heat; skim foam, let stand for 5 minutes to stabilize fruit throughout.
• Spoon marmalade into hot jars, seal with two-part lids.
• Process in a boiling water-bath for 15 minutes (sea level).
