Steps:

- 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.

Tips for Making Champagne Oranges:
- Choose the Right Oranges: Select navel oranges that are ripe and have a deep orange color. Avoid oranges with blemishes or soft spots.
- Wash the Oranges Thoroughly: Wash the oranges under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Score the Oranges: Using a sharp knife, score the oranges lengthwise from top to bottom. Cut deep enough to pierce the skin, but not so deep that you cut into the flesh.
- Sprinkle with Sugar: Sprinkle the oranges liberally with granulated sugar. The sugar will help to draw out the juices and create a syrup.
- Add Champagne: Pour champagne over the oranges until they are mostly submerged. You may need to use more or less champagne depending on the size of your oranges.
- Let the Oranges Macerate: Allow the oranges to macerate in the champagne for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve Chilled: Serve the champagne oranges chilled, either on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
