Pink Grapefruit With Cassis Recipes

Steps:

• If you like a salt rim on the glasses, rub the lime around the edge of the glass and then dip the rim of each glass lightly in a plate of kosher salt. Set aside to dry.
• Combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, and ice in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a large pitcher and stir in the tequila. If youre not serving the margaritas in salted glasses, stir 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the pitcher of margaritas. Believe me, it will make a difference!
• Serve ice cold.

Steps:

• Carefully peel and section the grapefruit over a bowl, saving the juice. Cut away and discard all the outer white membrane and connecting membrane. To section them, run a knife between each segment. Discard any seeds. There should be about three cups of flesh and one cup of juice.
• Combine the grapefruit sections and juice in a food processor or blender and blend as thoroughly as possible. There should be about three and one-third cups. Put the mixture in a mixing bowl.
• Combine the sugar with two cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook about five minutes and cool completely. Add to the grapefruit mixture and blend. There should be about five and one-half cups. Add the cassis and chill thoroughly.
• Pour the mixture into an electric or hand-cranked ice-cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the mixture starts to freeze, add the egg white and continue freezing to the desired consistency.

Steps:

• 1. Using small sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from grapefruits. Working over bowl to catch juice, cut between membranes to release segments. Reserve juice in bowl. Arrange grapefruit segments decoratively on 4 plates, dividing equally.
• 2. Combine sugar, water and reserved grapefruit juice in heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
• 3. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in crème de cassis. Drizzle syrup over grapefruit.
• 4. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours. Garnish with mint, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar in a saucepan with 1 pint cold water. Place over a low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Once the liquid is clear, raise the heat under the pan and bring to a boil. Simmer steadily for 5 minutes, in order to make a syrup.
• Meanwhile, peel the pink grapefruit, removing as much white pith from around the flesh as possible. Working over a mixing bowl to catch the juices from the fruit, cut the flesh into segments by running a serrated fruit knife down each side of the membrane dividing the fruit's segments.
• Ease the cut segment out into the mixing bowl and, when each segment has been cut away, squeeze the remaining membrane to extract as much juice as possible before discarding it.
• Pick out any seeds.
• Tear the basil leaves into tiny pieces and stir them into the sugar syrup. Pour the syrup over the grapefruit, stir gently to coat evenly, then cover and marinate in the fridge for about 2 hours before serving.
