Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 ounce) package cherry gelatin
  • 3 cups boiling water, divided
  • 1 (29 ounce) can sliced pears, undrained
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lemon gelatin
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lime gelatin
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple

Directions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Drain pears, reserving 1 cup juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use). Stir pears and reserved juice into cherry gelatin. Pour into a 10-in. fluted tube pan or 3-qt. ring mold coated with nonstick cooking spray. Refrigerate until nearly set, about 1-1/4 hours.
  2. In a bowl, dissolve the lemon gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; refrigerate until slightly thickened. Beat in the cream cheese until blended. Pour over the cherry layer.
  3. In another bowl, dissolve lime gelatin in remaining boiling water. Drain pineapple well, reserving juice. Add enough water to juice to measure 3/4 cup. Stir pineapple and reserved juice into lime gelatin; spoon over lemon layer. Refrigerate until firm. Unmold onto a serving plate.
