A âmustâ at our family reunions is this easy make-ahead gelatin salad. Try decorating the top with maraschino cherries. The red and lime-green color is especially pretty for the holidays. Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounces) pear halves |
1 package (3 ounces) lime gelatin |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed |
1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, well drained |
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted, divided |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |
Directions:
1. Drain pears, reserving juice; set pears aside. In a small saucepan, bring juice to a boil. Stir in gelatin until dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool slightly.
2. In a food processor, combine pears and cream cheese; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in gelatin mixture until blended. Stir in the pineapple and 3/4 cup pecans. Fold in whipped topping.
3. Pour into an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. dish. Refrigerate until set. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Cut into squares. Yield: 8 servings.
