Mother always had a way of making every dish she served just a little more special. A good example is this fluffy salad. It's both fruity and refreshing. -Linda McGinty, Parma, Ohio Ingredients:

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |

1. Drain pears, reserving juice. Chop pears and set aside. Add water to the juice to measure 3 cups. Place in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved.
