LIME-PEAR SALAD - MOM'S RECIPE



Lime-Pear Salad - Mom's recipe image

Mom was fond of fruit salads, and they were usually a gelatin combination, which was popular at the time I was growing up. Sometimes the color makes it more appealing, and it also makes it festive for a holiday meal. I remember her making this, but when I tried it, I changed things. It is better with lots of lime flavor, and...

2 can(s) pear halves, (using one can drained and mashed),reserve liquid .
1 tsp plain gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water
1/2 c lime juice,add to juice enough to make one cup.
1 pkg 8 oz. cream cheese mashed
1 Tbsp simple syrup, more if taste isn't sweet enough.

Chill until thickened.
  • 2. In another bowl combine 1 cup boiling hot water and Lime Jello and stir well, let cool, and then add 8 oz. of Cool Whip. Chill until thickened.
  • 3. Prepare a mold by spraying with oil; I used a bundt pan. Place slices of the second can of pears in the bottom, spoon the first mixture of Pears/juice/cream cheese into the mold. Then add the final layer of Lime Jello/Cool Whip and cover tightly with foil and chill overnight. If making early in the a.m. it should be fine by evening.

UNDER THE SEA PEAR SALAD

An old fashioned Jello salad that is also great for a light dessert. I changed it a little from the original in the matter of adding a little zip to it with different & extra spice & subbing lime juice for the original lemon juice

Categories     Gelatin

Time 5h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) can pear halves in natural juice
1 (3 ounce) package lime Jell-O gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Drain pears, reserving 3/4 cup of the syrup; coarsely chop pears and set aside.
  • Dissolve jello in boiling water; add pear syrup and lime juice; measure 1 1/4 cups into an 8X4 loaf pan or a 4 cup gelatin mold- chill until set but not firm- about one hour.
  • Meanwhile, slowly (to prevent lumps) blend remaining gelatin into the softened cream cheese; beat until smooth then blend in spices and chopped pears.
  • Pour over set gelatin in refrigerator and let finish firming up in fridge, about four hours.
  • Note- This can be made with pears in syrup; doing that makes it sweeter and more of a dessert dish which is how we prefer it here at my house.
