    YUM!

    Sounds easy enough be risky an try what you wrote out then keep experimenting untill you have it just the way you remember...

    I would use half dry Lemon for a small mold

    and 1 8oz package of cream chesse

    If large then all of package and 2 8oz

    Cherries and Manderians both sound good

    just drain the manderians well.. or buy in season.

    Idea

    even better blend the manderians with the cream sheese

    This is the closest I could find. If you used mandarin oranges in the top layer instead of the pears and cherries, and then used the pears in the bottom layer with the lime jello, it would be what you described. I thought pineapple was pretty iffy in jello anyway.

    Good luck!

    Y'all just gave us the recipe in your question!!!

    Just make up each layer with the ingredients you listed (mixing the lemon jello/ cream cheese layer to taste)

    Let each layer partially gel/chill before adding next so layers won't mix and be sure to drain your fruit well saving the liquid to use instead of some of the water for more flavor

    Go ahead and make it! no worries...

  • I found this on an old 1993 CD-ROM entitled 'Cookbook USA.'
