Doing more carrots today - this morning I did 9 pints and now have 6 quarts and 1 pint in the canner. Yesterday I did 6 quarts mixed vegetables and 1 quart just carrots (ran out of greenbeans)

Tomorrow I will be doing pineapples and grapefruit combos.

Are you going to peel the membranes from the grapefruit wedges? Try cutting off the rind, like how it's done when supreming an orange (link below). After removing the peel, I find that my fingers are better at getting the fruit out than a knife. And there'll probably be seeds, which the knife won't help with. I timed different techniques and fount this the fastest and least annoying---for me, at least.

I plan on cutting the grapefruit in half and then taking a sharp knife to cut the fruit out. That is how I do it when I am going to eat a pineapple, and it seems like the easiest way.
