desserts

2 cups champagne or sparkling white wine
2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons liquid honey
2 tablespoons unflavoured gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
4 oranges
2 cups strawberries
8 sprigs mint

In saucepan, gently warm Champagne, orange juice, sugar and honey, stirring. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 5 minutes. Warm over medium-low heat until just melted; whisk into orange juice mixture. Simmer for 1 minute. Do not allow to boil. Divide about 1/2 cup among eight 1-cup martini or wide-mouth glasses. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until set. Pour remaining mixture into large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until consistency of egg whites. Meanwhile, cut away rind and pith from oranges; cut between membrane and pulp to release sections. Place in bowl. Reserve 8 strawberries for garnish; quarter remaining berries and add to oranges. Spoon over gelatin in glasses. With hand mixer, whip remaining orange juice mixture until frothy and pale; divide among glasses. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until set or for up to 24 hours. Top each with reserved strawberry and mint sprig. VARIATION: Orange Juice Parfait: Substitute ginger ale for Champagne; omit honey.
