You might have to add a touch of lemon juice for acidity and some commercial pectin, but it will set and not be bitter. :)Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459199194735763766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218335687137392764.post-43074868566074713442010-01-22T20:35:48.326-05:002010-01-22T20:35:48.326-05:00Love clementines & used some in one of my marm...Love clementines & used some in one of my marmalades for the Can Jam (I made 2 - yes, I'm obsessive). <br /><br />I'm a little concerned about the bitterness in my grapefruit marm, but I think I found the solution to the bitterness in my second (4-1/4 Fruit marmalade) - the addition of 1/8 tsp. of baking soda. The second one had absolutely no trace of bitterness!<br /><br />I love the color of yours - amazing!RJ Flamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377223115428239674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218335687137392764.post-33311159838685322010-01-21T11:42:08.019-05:002010-01-21T11:42:08.019-05:00I have seen a good number of recipes that call for...I have seen a good number of recipes that call for soaking the chopped up fruit overnight in the 'fridge.
