Pear Salad
"We had this at an office birthday party, and it is delicious. I couldn't tell I was eating jello. Now I know what to make with the jello I bought on sale. Of course, how could you go wrong with whipping cream and cream cheese? Thanks Roxanne for this terrific salad--it's more like a dessert to me. Serving size is estimated."

6-8
ingredients
- 32 ounces pears
- 1 cup water
- 3 ounces lemon Jell-O gelatin
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1⁄2 pint whipping cream
directions
- Drain the pears and set aside a cup of the pear juice. Place the rest of the pears and juice in the blender with the pears.
- If you don't have enough for a full cup of juice from the pears, add enough water to make 1 cup.
- Boil the juice or juice/water mixture to set the jello.
- Add jello to the hot juice and stir to dissolve.
- Meanwhile, blend the pears until smooth and add cream cheese and blend again.
- Whip the cream and add to jello mixture.
- Fold in pear mixture with jello and top with any remaining pears.
- Cool until set (it may take several hours refrigerated).
- Make sure you don't double the batch because the consistency will not be right. Make 2 separate batches instead.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
