Under The Sea Pear Salad

1. 1

   Drain pears, reserving 3/4 cup of the syrup; coarsely chop pears and set aside.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, slowly (to prevent lumps) blend remaining gelatin into the softened cream cheese; beat until smooth then blend in spices and chopped pears.

4. 4

   Pour over set gelatin in refrigerator and let finish firming up in fridge, about four hours.

5. 5

   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.
