Christmas Gelatin Ring Recipe

Christmas Gelatin Ring Recipe

  • 1 (3 ounce) package cherry Jell-O®
  • 3 cups boiling water, divided
  • 1 (29 ounce) can sliced pears, undrained
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O®
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lime Jell-O®
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple
  1. In a bowl, dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Drain pears, reserving 1 cup juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use). Stir pears and reserved juice into cherry gelatin. Pour into a 10-in. fluted tube pan or 3-qt. ring mold coated with nonstick cooking spray. Refrigerate until nearly set, about 1-1/4 hours.
  2. In a bowl, dissolve the lemon gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; refrigerate until slightly thickened. Beat in the cream cheese until blended. Pour over the cherry layer.
  3. In another bowl, dissolve lime gelatin in remaining boiling water. Drain pineapple well, reserving juice. Add enough water to juice to measure 3/4 cup. Stir pineapple and reserved juice into lime gelatin; spoon over lemon layer. Refrigerate until firm. Unmold onto a serving plate.
