Orange-Campari Sorbet Oranges
- 7 large, juicy oranges like Valencias, washed and dried
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup wildflower honey
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 egg white
- 13 cup Campari
- 8 sprigs fresh mint
- 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.
