Steps:
- 1. Boil water and pear juice, enough to make one cup. First Mixture: Stir 1 packet gelatin with a little cold water, stir in lime juice,then add the warm juice and the mashed pears add one or two Tbs. simple syrup, and stir in softened cream cheese, and whip together well.Optional: add four drops of green food coloring. 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.
- 4. Turn the mold upside down over a serving platter, and tap gently to loosen gelatin. Decorate with marashino cherries if desired. It's great for dessert or on lettuce as a salad.
