Citrus-Vanilla Bean Marmalade
- 1 vanilla bean
- 2 large Valencia or navel oranges
- 2 medium-size red grapefruit
- 1 lemon
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Split vanilla bean lengthwise, and scrape out seeds.
- Grate zest from oranges to equal 1 Tbsp. Repeat with grapefruit. Grate zest from lemon to equal 1 tsp.
- Peel and section oranges, grapefruit, and lemon, holding fruit over a bowl to collect juices.
- Stir together vanilla bean and seeds, orange and grapefruit zest, fruit segments, sugar, kosher salt, 1/3 cup fruit juices, and 1 3/4 cups water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 50 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 225u0b0 and mixture is slightly thickened. Cool completely (about 1 hour; mixture will thicken as it cools). Discard vanilla bean; pour marmalade into 2 (8-oz.) jars or airtight containers, and chill 24 hours. Store marmalade in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.
- Total time does not include 1 day to chill.
