Ingredients
½ cup sugar
½ cup Campari, at room temperature
1 packet unflavored gelatin
¾ cup sparkling water
1 teaspoon silver mini dragées, optional
Orange jellies (see recipe)
Preparation
- Step 1
Make simple syrup: Place sugar in a saucepan, add ⅔ cup water, bring to a simmer and cook just until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Step 2
In a bowl, mix Campari and simple syrup. Place gelatin in a small metal bowl or 1-cup metal measuring cup and pour ¼ cup Campari mixture over it to soften it. When gelatin is soft, place bowl or cup in a shallow pan with simmering water below rim of bowl or cup. Simmer until gelatin mixture liquefies. Slowly whisk liquid gelatin into rest of Campari mixture. Stir in sparkling water.
- Step 3
If using candies, divide them among 4 4-ounce or 6 3-ounce metal or silicon molds. Strain Campari mixture into molds. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Unmold onto dessert plates by first dipping molds in hot water for count of 20. Return plates to refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with orange jellies.
