Pear Salad Recipe
- 1 (29 ounce) can pears in juice, juice drained and reserved
- 1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip®), thawed
- Mash pears with a fork in a bowl until desired consistency is reached.
- Measure 1 1/2 cups juice from pears and pour into a saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until warmed, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir gelatin mix into pear juice until dissolved. Stir cream cheese and milk into gelatin mixture until smooth. Fold whipped topping into mixture; add pears and mix well. Spoon mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
