UNDER-THE-SEA-SALAD 
1 can (16 oz.) pear halves
1 pkg. (3 oz.) lime gelatin
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. boiling water
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) cream cheese
1/8 tsp. cinnamon

Drain pears, reserving 1/4 cup syrup. Dice pears and set aside. Dissolve gelatin and salt in boiling water. Add reserved syrup and lemon juice. Pour 1 1/4 cup into an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Chill until set, but not firm (1 hour).

Meanwhile, soften cheese until creamy. Very slowly blend in remaining gelatin, beating until smooth. Blend in pears. Spoon into pan. Chill until firm, about 4 hours. Unmold and garnish. Serve with mayonnaise if desired, 3 1/2 cup or 6 servings. Can also be chilled in a 4 cup mold.
