Steps:
- Prepare the gelatin mix according to the package instructions, using the seltzer in place of the cold water. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a mandarin followed by a blackberry in the grooves of a 2.1-quart fluted bundt pan. Repeat to form a circle. Pour in just enough of the gelatin to cover the fruit (about 1 1/2 cups). Chill until set, about 1 1/2 hours, leaving the remainder of the gelatin mix on the counter.
- Sprinkle the blueberries in an even layer over the firm gelatin. Cover with the remaining mandarin oranges. Top with the remaining blackberries. Pour the remaining gelatin mixture over the fruit. Chill until firm, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, place the gelatin mold in a bowl of warm water for 2 minutes to loosen. Invert onto a circular serving platter. Fill the center of the mold with fresh berries to serve.

Just in time for Christmas! Layers of red cranberry, green jello, and cream cheese in the middle. Haven't made it yet, but am planning on it! Found in Healthy Cooking from Taste of Home. It says to chill until set but not firm to help the layers from sliding apart when cut.

Tips:
- Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give your gelatin a more vibrant color and flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- Choose the right gelatin: There are two types of gelatin: powdered and sheet. Powdered gelatin is more commonly used and is easier to find. Sheet gelatin is more expensive, but it dissolves more quickly and gives a clearer gelatin.
- Follow the package directions: When preparing the gelatin, be sure to follow the package directions carefully. The amount of water you need will vary depending on the type of gelatin you're using.
- Let the gelatin cool before refrigerating: Once you've prepared the gelatin, let it cool for a few minutes before refrigerating. This will help to prevent the gelatin from becoming too firm.
- Chill the gelatin for at least 4 hours: Gelatin needs time to set properly. Be sure to chill it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
