Red Grapefruit Jelly

Akikobay's Note:

We are first year canners and this was definitely our favorite recipe. We just peeled the grapefruit and put it all through a food mill, but juice the grapefruit however you see fit. Watch for the seeds! It was easy and it felt really safe for us to try. The original recipe called for commercial grapefruit juice (what a travesty) and red food coloring (ick, we liked the pale pink color).

The flavor of this was good but I think that 2 envelopes of pectin was too much. Next time I would cut this back to only 1 envelope.
