This week’s Sweet Melissa Sundays recipe selection, Strawberry-Rube Grapefruit Preserves, was fun and easy to make. You just throw in all the ingredients (strawberries, grapefruit juice & zest, sugar, apple) in a pot, boil, and let it reduce into sweet goodness. I made a 1/2 recipe and it still made a lot. One big pickle jar full.
It’s been perfect on toast and wonderful with plain yogurt and granola. I think it would also be good in a baked item, but haven’t made anything yet.
Thank you to Margot of Effort to Deliciousness for this week’s pick as we bake through the book. If you would like the recipe, please visit her BLOG.
What a yummie recipe!!
I just love it!
with all these breads, I think we all need a spread-making group next! That’s actually something I’ve been interested in trying, so this seems like a great one to start with. It looks wonderful.
Red jams are sooooo beautiful!
looks fabulous. I would love some right about now.
Yum, that does look really good – perfect with all the bread you are baking!
What a perfect accompaniment to all your bread. Such pretty jam 😀

Gorgeous! I used mine on toast this morning too but I want to try it inside of cupcakes next time.
Your preserves look delicious!
Of course you would have it on homemade bread…..
Thanks for preserving with me this week. Those photos are stunning; it’s almost 7 pm and they’re making me want jam and toast!
This looks fabulous – such a gorgeous red jam.
Looks terrific. I am eating mine with plan yogurt right now for dessert, yum.
that just looks lovely. i did not have the ingredients to make this and wanted to avoid a trip to the store so i skipped this week.
This sounds sooooo good! Ive had strawberry on its own and grapefruit but never the 2 together (for a preserve) yum!
So easy & simple! I have to try this one out one day. Yours looks terrific.
easy to do, delicious and pretty ! its perfect!
Your preserves look so pretty, and I seriously love that white dish! Awesome pictures!
Glad you liked the preserves. Nice bright color!
So pretty, it looks like jewels. I imagine it would be especially delicious in Greek yogurt and maybe thumbprint cookies too.
Strawberry-grapefruit sounds like such a fab combo! Looks fantastic.
