My mom and I have been making this recipe for years and it is my favorite. However, we make it a little differently. Heat the pear juice and lime gelatin the same. In a blender combine the pears, 2-8 ounce packages of cream cheese blend until smooth. Whip 1 cup whipping cream, fold it into the jello mixture. Pour into mold and refridgerate for several hours. It is delicious.

This tastes really good and came out great considering I used this recipe for the ingredients and another (same recipe variation) for prep directions. The other recipe called for putting the fruit into a blender. I then added the dissolved Jello, chunk-ed up cream cheese, and blended until smooth. Then I folded the mixture into the whipped topping. Poured it all into one of those jello-molds, whiched I sprayed with Pam. My husband and kids all looked at me funny when I set it down after dinner but stopped when they decided it tasted "really good!".

This salad tastes great. My only problem was that I couldn't get the pears smooth like the recipe called for. I mashed them first, like the instructions said, then when that didn't work, I beat them with my electric mixer. They still weren't smooth, but I finished the recipe anyway. Like I said, the flavor was wonderful, but I do think it would be even better without the tiny chunks of pear. It wasn't too sweet. I wanted a side dish that people would not confuse with a dessert, and this served that purpose. But next time I make it I think I will try putting the pears in my food processor. Surely then they will be smooth and I will get the texture in the salad that I'm looking for.

Skip the whipped topping, use nonfat cream cheese, and save yourself some calories. The kids love it.

I made this recipe using peaches and orange jello. Next time I would not mash the fruit til smooth like it directs. It's like applesauce in jello. And it would not come out of the mold. Maybe it's something I did, but this is way too much work for such a poor salad.

I've made this salad for the past five Thanksgivings and everyone always likes it, because it's very light and fresh tasting. It's super easy to make and the pear/lime combination is great together. My Mom even asked for the recipe and makes it with Splenda and Light Cool Whip to make it more healthy, and she said it turned out great. This is a nice holiday gelatin salad if you want something that's not too sweet or heavy.

Maybe I'm just not a jello mold fan, but I didn't like this at all and neither did ANY of the 10 guests over for Easter. Half of them wouldn't even try it based on the looks alone.

I liked this and will make it again - but it does not have that *wow, this is fantastic!* appeal - but everyone did enjoy it. It was quick to make, not fussy at all....and in the end a nice addition to our Easter menu.

This is one of my favorite jello salads for holidays. Everyone loves it and I never have left overs. I have also substituted strawberries and strawberry jello, as well as peaches and peach jello with wonderfully light and creamy results but I think pear lime is the overall favorite!

This is EXCELLENT!! I found this recipr two years ago on this site and have made it for the past two Thanksgivings, as well as numerous other potlucks, and it always is gone quickly, and gets great compliments. Best of all, you can make it the day before and it's SO easy!
