Jello is alright on it’s own, but anytime I make it I jazz it up. I will sometimes just make it according to the package directions and pour it into little Tupperware containers for the kids as an after school snack. Even then I usually put some fruit in it like mandarin oranges or fruit cocktail. With whipped cream on top. See? That’s not even basic Jello. I just can’t do it.
Today I have a favorite Jello recipe that I got from my sister-in-law, Heather. She has some great recipes and I’m always getting them from her. This is made in the blender, so it comes together in literally seconds. The hard part is waiting for it to set up.
1 (6oz) pkg. lime Jell-O (or 2 small pkg)
1 c. boiling water
1 (29 oz) can pears
1 c. pear juice
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. Cool Whip
Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Put in the blender and add the pears, pear juice, and cream cheese. Blend till smooth. Put into a bowl and add the Cool Whip. Whisk it until it’s all incorporated. Refrigerate a couple hours or more until set.
Now I thought I’d round-up my other Jello recipes and share them here. Also I want your Jello recipes linked up.

Oh YUUUM! I use to make this years ago and had forgotten about it…thanks for the reminder. Will be making it soon – using sugar free jello. LOVE it! Happy New Year to you and yours!!
A couple of these are new to me, and I sure am going to make them. I have linked up my favorite Jello salad-Cranberry Pineapple Salad. Thanks for hosting and sharing. A very Happy New Year to you and your family.
That's a new take on jello! We don't really eat jello much around here, but I do add gelatin when I'm making popsicles for my toddler–it keeps them from dripping so much!<br /><br />I put up some recipes on 10 things to do with baby food on my blog today (http://www.tmuffin.com/2012/01/10-things-to-do-with-baby-food.html), and now that I think of it, you could totally make popsicles
glad I stopped in from Jam Hands. I linked up some yummy treats: baked brie, chocolate cake truffles and gingerbread. Hope you enjoy and Happy New Year! shari@myjudythefoodie
