Instructions

Step 1

Lightly oil a 9-cup fluted tube pan with canola oil. Heat 2 cups of the black currant nectar or black cherry juice in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk in unflavored gelatin and lemon-flavored gelatin until dissolved.

Step 2

Stir in remaining 4 cups of black currant nectar or black cherry juice; ladle mixture into prepared mold. Chill until partially set, 1 1⁄2–2 hours.

Step 3

Scatter raspberries and blackberries over the black currant mixture; stir to distribute evenly. Chill until set, about 6 hours or overnight. Dip pan into a bowl of hot water for 5 seconds; invert salad onto a plate. Fill center with crème fraîche or whipped cream.
