My mother always made this for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Making this salad brought back so many memories!

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.
