CAMPARI & ORANGE GRANITA
Steps:
- First make the sugar syrup: Combine the sugar and water in small saucepan and boil over high heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the sugar syrup into a 10 x 13 x 2-inch ceramic dish and stir in the orange juice, Campari, and lemon juice. Carefully place the dish on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for one hour, rake the granita with a large dinner fork, and return it to the freezer. Rake the granite every 30 minutes, until it's firm and granular. This should take a several hours. Serve frozen in pretty bowls or stemmed martini glasses.

Steps:
- Cut the top off each orange, just enough to scoop out the pulp for later use. Discard tops and freeze empty orange shells.
- NOTE: For easier scooping, roll the oranges by hand before cutting the tops, using a firm downward pressure to loosen the pulp.
- In a colander, fine mesh strainer, or food mill, mash the orange pulp to remove as much juice as possible. Add additional juice, if necessary, to make 1 1/2 cups.
- Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. When the sugar is totally dissolved, remove from heat and allow to cool. Add orange juice and orange liqueur.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow glass dish and place level in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, mixing gently with a fork every 20 minutes until it forms ice crystals and thickens. The frequent mixing will keep the granita from freezing into a solid block.
- Fill orange shells with frozen granita mixture and serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1 Place a 13 × 9 × 2-inch pan in the freezer to chill at least 15 minutes. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Stir well. Remove from the heat and let cool. Chill the syrup. 2 Stir together the chilled syrup, juices, Campari, and orange zest. 3 Remove the chilled pan from the freezer and pour the mixture into the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes or until a 1-inch border of ice crystals forms around the edges. Stir the ice crystals into the center of the mixture. Return the pan to the freezer and continue freezing, stirring every 30 minutes, until all of the liquid is frozen, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Serve immediately, or scrape the mixture into a plastic container, cover, and store in the freezer up to 24 hours. 4 Remove from the freezer to soften about 15 minutes before serving, if necessary.
