Grapefruit Campari Gelatin Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add peppercorns if desired. Refrigerate for 2 hours and strain through a fine sieve.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Stir syrup, Campari, and salt into grapefruit juice (you should have about 6 cups liquid).
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup juice mixture in a small saucepan, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Strain gelatin mixture through a fine sieve into remaining juice mixture in a bowl set in ice-water bath. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to gel, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from ice water bath and pour half the gelatin mixture into a 7-cup bowl. Arrange orange segments around perimeter, pressing them into the gelatin. Refrigerate 30 minutes. (Remaining gelatin can sit at room temperature.) Pour remaining gelatin on top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

Steps:

• Stir together orange juice, Campari, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin; let soften 1 minute.
• Cook gelatin mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until sugar and gelatin are dissolved, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a stainless-steel bowl. Stir in Champagne and lemon juice; let stand 5 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, skim foam from surface. Pour mixture into a 4 1/2-cup fluted gelatin mold. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
• To serve, carefully set mold in a bowl of hot water for 5 seconds. Invert gelatin onto a serving platter.

Steps:

• Combine grapefruit juice, club soda, Campari, and simple syrup in a large pitcher. Pour into ice-filled glasses, and garnish each with a twist.

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Let syrup cool. Stir in grapefruit juice and Campari and freeze in a shallow metal pan, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every 30 minutes, 3 to 4 hours, or until mixture is firm but not frozen. Scrape granita with a fork to lighten texture. Serve granita in chilled goblets and garnish with zest.

Steps:

• Heat the horno, or a home oven, to 350°F (180°C).
• Trim off any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and trim the core end so it sits flat. With a sharp knife, cut a deep X into the core and put the cabbage in a very large pot with plenty of water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, and blanch for about 5 minutes. Drain and pat the cabbage dry.
• Pour the olive oil into a large deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven and roll the cabbage around in it until thoroughly coated. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven tightly with foil or a lid, place in the oven, and roast for about 30 minutes. At this point, check the cabbage for doneness by seeing how deeply you can pierce it with a long metal skewer or kitchen fork. This will give you an idea of how much more cooking time it needs. If the pot seems dry, add a little water.
• Baste the cabbage with more oil and return it to the oven, uncovered, to roast for 40 to 60 minutes (depending on the size of the cabbage), or until it can be easily pierced all the way through.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa. Using long-handled tongs and a pot holder, hold the grapefruit over a hot fire (or gas burner), rotating it occasionally, until the peel is spotted with char in patches, about 5 minutes. When the grapefruit is cool enough to handle, cut it into eighths and scrape the pulp and juice into a small bowl, discarding the seeds and membrane.
• Choose the two least-charred pieces of grapefruit peel and discard the rest. Set the peel down flat; with a small sharp knife, pare off all the bitter white pith, leaving only the zest. Finely chop the zest and set it aside.
• Toast the walnuts in a small pan for about 5 minutes, until crisped and fragrant. Combine the olive oil, Campari, rosemary, grapefruit pulp and juice, and half the grapefruit zest in a bowl and whisk to combine. Taste and add more grapefruit zest only if you think it needs it.
• To serve, set the cabbage on a carving board like you would a roast. Cut it in half through the core, lay the halves down flat, and carve them into wedges, keeping some core attached to each slice to hold them together. Spoon some salsa over the plated slices and serve the rest on the side.

Steps:

• Cut peel, including all white pith, from 2 grapefruit with a sharp knife. Cut segments free from membranes, letting them fall into a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into sieve, then discard membranes. Transfer grapefruit segments to a heatproof bowl and chill, uncovered, while making syrup.
• Squeeze juice from remaining grapefruit through sieve into bowl. Stir together 1 cup juice (reserve remainder for another use), 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt in a nonreactive 10-inch heavy skillet and boil over moderately high heat, swirling skillet occasionally, until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 4 minutes. Stir in Campari and sugar to taste, then immediately pour hot syrup over chilled grapefruit. Chill, uncovered, 15 minutes.
