Summer Jello Salad

Time

Ingredients

Ingredients

1 can mandarin oranges
1 can pear halves
2 boxes lemon Jell-O
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
Water

Instructions

Drain oranges and pear halves, saving the juice from the pears. Add enough water to the pear juice to bring the amount of liquid to 1-3/4 cup. Bring the liquid to a boil and remove from heat. Add the jell-o powder and stir until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and heavy cream. To avoid lumps, stir the heavy cream into the sour cream little by little.

Arrange the pear halves and oranges in a shallow baking dish (8x8-inch square or similar). When the Jell-O mixture is cool, stir in the cream mixture and pour over the fruit.

Let stand in fridge for a few hours, until set, or overnight.

I don't know where this recipe originates from, but my mother made it for all cook outs/potlucks for as long as I can remember. It is always the first dish to be eaten up! Everybody loves it. It is creamy and light -- perfect for summer.
