In a large kettle or a Dutch oven size pan, combine the cooked grapefruit peel, chopped grapefruit sections, chopped apples, lemon juice, and 1 cup of water.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Gradually stir in the sugar, and bring back to a full rolling boil. Stir constantly to avoid sticking and burning.

Boil for 1 full minute.

Remove from heat, and stir in the fruit pectin.

Skim off the foam, stirring and skimming for 10 minutes.

Pour marmalade into hot, clean jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.

Wipe jar rims, and adjust lids.

Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes, starting the timer when the water returns to boiling.
