A very yummy side dish that the whole family will enjoy. This has become a staple at our family's Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners. It's a good thing that it makes a lot! My daughter always asks, Are we having Green Stuff? I received this recipe from my mother-in-law when I married into the family. She is a wonderful cook! My recipe calls for ingredients that are a little more healthy, as I follow Weight Watchers so feel free to substitute the real things. ENJOY! Ingredients:
29 ounces pears in light syrup, bartlett pears |
8 ounces fat free cream cheese, softened |
12 ounces cool whip lite |
2 (1/3 ounce) boxes sugar-free lime jell-o gelatin |
2 tablespoons nonfat milk |
2 -3 maraschino cherries, cut in half for decoration |
Directions:
1. Drain the pears.
2. Put the pear juice in a measuring cup and add enough water to make 2 cups of liquid.
3. Make the Jello using the 2 cups of the liquid.
4. When the Jello is dissolved, place in the refrigerator until almost set.
5. Mash the pears.
6. Mash the softened cream cheese adding the milk as you mash and blend this mixture until smooth.
7. Add the pears to the cream cheese mixture.
8. Put the cream cheese mixture and the Jello in the mixing bowl and blend together.
9. Fold in the Cool Whip and mix all together well.
10. Pour your Seafoam Salad into a pretty glass bowl.
11. Put the halved cherries on the top for decoration.
