Mixed Citrus Marmalade is a classic spread that is popular in many cultures around the world. This recipe uses a combination of oranges, grapefruits, and lemons to create a marmalade that is both sweet and tangy. The mixture is cooked slowly over low heat to thicken and develop the rich flavor. The marmalade can be enjoyed as a simple spread on toast or used as a glaze for meats and vegetables.

Instructions

1.	Begin by cutting the oranges and grapefruits in half, and then thinly slice them crosswise, removing the seeds as you go.
2.	Cut the lemon in half and thinly slice it crosswise as well.
3.	In a large pot, combine the sliced citrus fruits, sugar, water, and salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, reduce the heat, and let the mixture simmer, uncovered, until it thickens and the fruit is soft and translucent, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4.	Transfer the marmalade to clean, sterilized jars, filling them about 3/4 full. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool.
