GRANDMA D's PEAR SALAD

The time has finally arrived!!!  I have been waiting all day to post this blog.

My husband LOVES this recipe and it is his family's tradition to have this light and creamy delightful dessert at Christmas.  Last Christmas as I was enjoying a helping of this holiday treat I thought to myself, "Why not have this cool treat during the summer?" So, at lunch today I went to the grocery store to gather all of the ingredients to rush them home to prepare this delightful treasure or "Ambrosia--Nectar of the gods" as my husband refers to it.

I have decided as a special treat to all of you to make this post a copy of the recipe and a picture.

Drain and reserve the juice from 2 large cans of pears.
Boil the pear juice and dissolve the lime jello.  Put the jello in the refrigerator to cool.
Mash the pears (I use an old fashioned potato masher)

Add pear mixture to cool jello (NOT SET) and pour into the 9X13 pan.
