Orange-Campari Granita with Fresh Nectarines
The addition of the Italian aperitif Campari to fresh orange juice gives a slightly bitter taste to this light and refreshing dessert.
Panna Cotta with Cranberry-Fig Compote
Sweet and tart at the same time, the compote is spooned atop creamy chilled custard for a satisfying Italian dessert.

Cantaloupe Granita
Here's an easy granita (a grown up snow cone). If you like, top it off just before serving with a diced melon salad made from cubes of cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon that have been tossed with a bit of sugar and thinly sliced fresh mint leaves.
Blackberry Parfaits
An almond-scented pudding layered with blackberries and blackberry preserves makes a nice finale.
Cornish Game Hen with Stuffing and Sherried Gravy
Garlic mashed potatoes and green beans sprinkled with toasted almonds are perfect with this dish.
Vin Santo Zabaglione with Orange and Grapefruit
This surprisingly rich-tasting custard has much less fat than the classic version made with egg yolks. In another twist, we call for vin santo instead of the conventional choice, Marsala.
Jerked Pork Chops
Jamaica's native herbs and spices glorify the lush island's most popular meat. I serve this with Golden Pineapple Chutney . These chops need at least 4 hours' marinating time, and if you can let them sit overnight, they'll be even better.
