UNDER-THE-SEA SALAD

Steps:

• Drain pears, reserving 3/4 cup of the syrup. Dice pears; set aside.
• Stir boiling water into gelatin and salt in medium bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in reserved syrup and lemon juice. Pour 1-1/4 cups gelatin mixture into 8x4-inch loaf pan or 4-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until set but not firm (should stick to finger when touched and should mound).
• Beat remaining gelatin mixture gradually into cream cheese until smooth. Stir in pears and cinnamon. Spoon over clear gelatin in pan.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold. Cut into 8 slices. Store leftover gelatin mold in refrigerator.

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.
