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.

MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY JELLO MOLD
A MUST for us! A neighbor in Omaha had given this to my Mom in the early'60's and she has made it every Thanksgiving since. Now I make the holiday, so I make the mold! It's very easy. Keep in mind that this has walnuts just in case you have guests who are allergic to nuts. Enjoy! *You can make this 2 days before serving so I will make it on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and keep it in the mold in the refrigerator and just unmold it before serving.

Tips:

- Peel the cucumber thinly: This will help the gelatin mixture adhere to the cucumber and prevent it from slipping off.
- Chill the cucumber before slicing: This will help the gelatin mixture set more quickly.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumber: This will ensure that the slices are even and smooth.
- Make sure the gelatin mixture is completely dissolved before adding it to the cucumber slices: Otherwise, you will end up with lumps in your mold.
- Chill the mold for at least 4 hours before serving: This will give the gelatin mixture time to set properly.
- Garnish the mold with fresh herbs, vegetables, or flowers before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
