Ruby grapefruit & Campari granita

by Jeanne Horak on July 25, 2011 23 Comments in Dessert, Gluten-free

Ruby grapefruit & Campari granita © J Horak-Druiff 2011



Do you ever catch sight of yourself reflected in a mirror or shop window and think: “Oh my word, I look exactly like my Aunty Betty!”, or words to that effect?  I don’t even have to look as far into the family tree as an aunty or a distant cousin:  I am the spitting image of my late mother.  This is a good thing and a bad thing – the slim wrists and the good cheeekbones are grand; the clunky ankles and child-bearing hips not so much!  And the same can be said for other traits beyind the physical – our similar short tempers, our shared love of poetry, and our tendency to fill our freezers as if we are preparing for some sort of protracted siege. This is the reason I never make ice cream.  As soon as the recipe talks about putting your giant stainless steel mixing bowl in the freezer I spend approximately three seconds visualising my freezer, then start laughing hysterically, take my medication and put the book away.  Clearly these people have never seen the state of a Horak freezer.

 

GranitaGrapefruit

It’s a good thing, then, that ice cream is not the only frozen dessert.  In fact, once you start looking, there is a plethora of frozen desserts available, each with subtly different ingredients and methods.  If, like me, you are somewhat vague about the differences, then this is for you:

COOKSISTER’S FROZEN DESSERTS FIELD GUIDE

Ice cream – a frozen dessert made with cream, milk and flavourings, and whipped repeatedly during freezing in order to add air and threfore lightness.  The fat content ranges between 10% and 15%. French-style ice cream contains whole eggs as part of the custard that flavours the ice cream, while American-style ice cream contains either egg white only, or no eggs,

Gelato – a frozen dessert made with cream but not whipped as much to increase the air volume – ice-cream can include 60% air while gelato only includes 20% air.  Gelato is therefore a similar but more dense product to ice cream.

Semifreddo – a simpler frozen dessert made of whipped cream and a flavouring like a fruit puree or chocolate. It is not whipped again after freezing and because it contains no water it does not freeze as solidly as ice-cream.

Kulfi  – a traditional Indian frozen dessert made only with cooked milk, sugar and flavouring – it contains no egg and is not whipped, so it has a heavier texture than ice cream.

Sorbet – a frozen dessert that is made from fruit purée and liquid but no milk or dairy products.  Sorbet is repeatedly whipped to lighten and smooth its texture.

Granita – a frozen dessert similar to a sorbet and and containing no milk.  It is not whipped and ice crystals are allowed form. It therefore has a more granular appearance, and a crunchy texture.

Because a granita does not require me to own an ice-cream maker and because it gets frozen in a shallow pan rather than a big bowl, it gets my vote every time.  I mean, even I can find space for a flattish pan in my chaotic freezer! This particular granita is super-easy to make and has a deliciously grown-up citrussy flavour. If you want it non-alcoholic, use more grapefruit juice instead of the Campari – but I can highly recommend the alcoholic version!

 

GranitaFinal

RUBY GRAPEFRUIT AND CAMPARI GRANITA (makes about 1.5 litres)

Ingredients:

290ml white granulated sugar
250ml water
750ml fresh ruby grapefruit juice with some pulp (juice of abotu 4 grapefruit)
75ml Campari
sprigs of mint to garnish

Method:

Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, strring until the sugar is dissolved.  Allow the syrup to cool for 5-10 minutes, then stir in the juice and Campari and freeze the mixture in a shallow metal pan.  Remove from freezer, stir and crush lumps with a fork every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours.  The mixture should be firm but not frozen solid.  When you are ready to serve, scrape the granita up with a fork to create grainy crystals and granules.  Scoop into pretty chilled glasses and serve garnished wth fresh mint.

More deliciousness for you!

    Oh now see this is something I will make for sure. I love love love Ruby red grapefruit but am just not all that into ice creams and gelatos etc. This, with the Campari, sounds very interesting. We had a palate cleanser – a gooseberry granita, as one of the little pauses for our wedding dinner menu and it was very tasty. We have freezer problems too Jeanne….but last year one of our friends, that moved away, donated their smallish chest freezer to the cause and now we have lots of space……oh. What to do…

    Fabulous recipe! A drink in dessert form is okay by me! I have long wanted to start making granitàs but it is less the chaotic state of my freezer as much as it is the damn size of French freezers! You would think they never froze anything! I dream of a freezer big enough to hold trays for 3 different flavors of granita. And this one? JP would love it!

    This looks oh so elegant! From your descriptions I’ve discovered that my orange sorbet is more like a granita, so maybe I will re-christen it! I haven’t had campari in years, but I’m sorely tempted to go out searching for some now!

    I was slumped at my desk with a cup of tea, trying to start work, when I saw your post. Reading about your divine-looking granita was the equivalent of a walk in the sun. I now feel twice as awake as I did before… (but no less inclined to start work unfortunately)

    @Mona – a chest freezer. Sigh. I remember having those in the halcyon days of my childhood!! This granita really is superb – a dessert for people who don’t like desserts, and an awesome between-course palate cleanser. Love the gooseberry granita idea!
    @Sylvie – a distant cousin! LOL! I love it. Would love a self-freezing ice-cream maker but think hubby might lose the plot if I colonise any more counterspace!
    @youngandfoodish – be warned, it is addictive!!
    @Sanjeeta – the colour is great, isn’t it?? Almost too pretty to eat!
    @Jamie – LOL, seems that i am not alone in my freezer issues! And I am sure JP will love it: Nick is not a dessert person at all and HE loved it 😉
    @Marietjie & Jaco – man dit klink nou soos iets anders! Het julle sneeu fotos op FB gesien – fantasties! As ons gaan ski gebruik ons dikwels vars sneeu i.p.v. ys in ons whisky!!
    @Kit – it’s like when I found out my chicken liver starter was more of a terrine than a pate – total rebranding 😉 And now you got me thinking of an orange and Cointreau granita…!
    @Livetoeat – yo can almost convince yourself that this is healthy, what with the no fat and all that vitamin C 😉
    @CherylK – I urge you to try it. One of the best things I’ve made this year…
    @Firefly – but the red ones are SO much sweeter! And anyway, you can just make this with extra sugar syrup 🙂
    @Eggs on the Roof – trust me, this granita wakes up your palate and your body follws suit (till the Campari kicks in, that is!). Sorry I culd not add an extra motivational ingredient to help with the work 😉
    @Jenn – oh it’s worth the ball-ache of clearing out the freezer – and it’s gluten-free! Woo hoo!
    @HungryRabbit – heatwave – are you trying to make me jealous?! Like I sad, invite me over and I will make you a bucket of this ;o)
    @Rosa – thanks! The gorgeous colours made it an easy job to get good pics 🙂

    My kind of frozen treat. I also don’t have either the ice cream maker or the space in the freezer. Also, I’m not sure I would have the willpower to resist large batches of home-made ice cream…. This I could just eat…

    I’m forwarding your iced dessert field guide to J- he has official title of the Ice cream Monster. Ice cream makers are disastrously expensive here. I died a mini death when Jasmine said I could pick up a relatively good one in Italy for 50 euro!!! So, granita it will be and thank goodness you’re not stirring-stirring-stirring. Lovely pics Now, summer…

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
