1 (15 oz.) can pears in syrup
1 (3 oz.) pkg. lime jello
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup cold water
1 tsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon or lime juice
1/2 cup reserved pear syrup
6 oz. cream cheese (2/3rds block)
1/8 tsp. ground ginger

Drain pears, reserving 1/2 cup syrup. Dice pears and set aside.

Dissolve jello in boiling water. Add cold water and pear juice, vinegar and lemon juice.

Measure 1 1/4 cups into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Chill until set, but not firm (will be sticky to the touch).

Meanwhile, soften cheese. Beat in remaining jello. Blend in ginger. Fold in pears. Spoon over set jello in pan. Chill overnight or until firm.

Unmold on crisp lettuce.

Makes 6 servings.
