CHAMPAGNE ORANGES

• To serve, spoon orange sections into individual compotes or dishes, and sprinkle with almonds.

BLOOD ORANGE CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons crème de cassis into each of 8 Champagne flutes or other glasses. Add 3 tablespoons juice to each glass. Fill each glass with Champagne, then stir gently. Garnish cocktails with slices of blood orange, if desired.

CHAMPAGNE FOAM WITH SPICED ORANGES

Steps:

• Coat six 8oz disposable plastic containers (such as GladWare) with cooking spray. Cut the peel and white pith from oranges. Working over a bowl, cut the oranges between the membranes to release segments, allowing them and the excess juices to fall into the bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk sugar and gelatin in a medium bowl to blend. Add boiling water and whisk vigorously to until gelatin and sugar dissolve and mixture becomes very foamy, about 2 minutes. Strain the juices from bowl of orange segments into gelatin mixture and whisk to blend.
• Refrigerate gelatin mixture until lukewarm, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Whisk in chilled Champagne. Divide the gelatin among the prepared containers. Cover each and refrigerate until gelatin sets, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Meanwhile stir marmalade, cinnamon and cloves in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until the mixture simmers, about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely. Stir in the orange segments.
• To serve Champagne foam, invert each onto a dessert plate and serve immediately. Spoon the spiced orange mixture alongside.
• *Note: I am not sure if these envelopes are .3 oz ones or not. It does not say in the recipe.

CHAMPAGNE ORANGE SORBET

Steps:

• In a small saucepan combine the sugar and 3/4 cup water, bring the mixture to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer the syrup for 10 minutes. Let the syrup cool and chill it, covered, for 2 hours, or until it is cold.
• In a bowl stir together 1 cup chilled syrup, the Champagne, the orange juice, and the orange-flower water and freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is frozen but still soft. In a bowl beat the white until it is frothy, add it to the sorbet, and freeze the sorbet in the freezer until it is firm.
