Sort the berries. If you plan to make colorful figures, then fill in jelly in different containers. Transparent bright colors can be obtained from cranberries, black currants, cherries. White opaque jelly is obtained from milk or sour cream, the green color can be made by adding food coloring to the dissolved gelatin.
