GRAPEFRUIT CAMPARI GELATIN

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.

ORANGE JELLY

Steps:

• Make simple syrup: Place sugar in a saucepan, add 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook just until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• In a bowl, mix orange juice and simple syrup. Place gelatin in a small metal bowl or 1-cup metal measuring cup and pour 1/4-cup orange juice mixture over it to soften. When gelatin is soft, place bowl or cup in a shallow pan with simmering water below rim of bowl or cup. Let water simmer until gelatin mixture liquefies. Slowly whisk liquid gelatin into rest of orange juice mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup water.
• Divide orange pieces among 4 4-ounce or 6 3-ounce metal or silicone molds. Pour orange juice mixture into molds. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Unmold onto a flat surface, like a baking sheet, by first dipping molds in hot water for count of 20. Return to refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with Campari jellies.
