Campari And Tonic With Grilled Oranges Recipes

Steps:

• Strip the zest from the oranges with a vegetable peeler, making sure not to peel away any of the white pith. Cut the zest into 1/8-inch shreds with a sharp knife. Place shredded zest in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over low heat. Drain zest, discard cooking water and place zest in a bowl; cover zest with cold water and set aside.
• Combine the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan, bring it to a boil and cook the syrup until it thickens slightly about 3 minutes.
• While the syrup is cooking, peel the oranges to expose the flesh. Lower the heat on the syrup and cook the oranges 1 or 2 (they should be submerged in the syrup--if not, switch to a smaller saucepan) at a time for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the oranges from the syrup with a slotted spoon and place in a serving bowl.
• Add the shredded zest to the syrup and cook the zest for two minutes, or until the zest is translucent. Remove the zest from the syrup and scatter over the oranges. Chill the oranges and sprinkle with orange liqueur just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• For the burnt oranges: Lay the orange slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with honey, making sure to cover them. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar and cayenne, and season with salt. Bake until the oranges are charred and slightly translucent, flipping halfway through, about 35 minutes. Let cool.
• For the cocktail: Place one burnt orange slice in a glass and add ice. Pour in the Campari, vodka and orange juice. Top with club soda. Garnish with another burnt orange slice.

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour Campari and orange juice over ice, cover, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with an orange twist.

Steps:

• Roll the oranges on a work surface to loosen them slightly. Halve the oranges horizontally and use a spoon to scoop out all of the flesh, being careful to keep the skins intact. Put the orange flesh in a food processor. Arrange the shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
• Puree the orange flesh and press through a sieve; you should have 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups of juice. Set aside.
• Combine the lemon juice, sugar, honey and water in a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 45 minutes. Let cool.
• Whip the egg white until it forms soft peaks and whisk in the orange juice. Whisk in the honey mixture. Refrigerate until cold. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place in a bowl, drizzle the Campari over the sorbet and fold it in just enough to form streaks; do not overmix.
• Working quickly, fill the orange shells to the top with sorbet; you won't use all of the shells. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 2 hours.
• To serve, use a large serrated knife to cut each orange shell into 3 wedges. Arrange the orange wedges on plates and garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
