Instructions

1. In a large bowl, soften the gelatin by stirring it into 1/2 cup of the orange juice. Set aside. In a small saucepan, boil 11/2 cups of the juice and the sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the juice over the gelatin and stir to dissolve. Mix in the remaining 2 cups of juice. Let cool completely. Pour into a 4 1/2cup mold or 4 individual serving glasses. Drop blackberries into the gelatin. Chill for 4 hours until set. Pour enough oil into a saucepan to come up the side of the pan 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Drop the noodles into the oil for 10 seconds. Drain the noodles.
