This is sort of a family tradition. My Mom used to make this every Easter. And now I do also. It is such a simple recipe and you can whip it up in minutes. I just made it this morning and will post a picture later on this afternoon.
Seafoam Salad by Beth Tewes (my grandmother)
1 large can Pears
1 small package Lime jello
1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream
1 8oz. package Cream Cheese
Drain juice from pears, reserving 1 cup of pear juice.
Whip whipping cream
Mash pears
Bring pear juice to boil and add lime jello
In a separate bowl, add the jello mixture to the cream cheese and whip
Add the mashed pears
Fold in the whipping cream
Chill until jellied.
See, isn't that easy! I guess you can change the recipe and use peaches and peach jello for a different taste - it could be very versatile.
Enjoy!
Shouldn't the Bring the pear juice to a boil read " and add lime jello " ? There is no mention of lime juice in the ingredients area. Please clarify. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, that should read lime jello - my mistake, I will fix that right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm amazed at how many of these recipes for seafoam salad on the web use the evil cool whip (aka trans-fat in a tub) rather than good old whipped cream. This one sounds so much better. I'm adding chopped pecans, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoyed the recipe! It has always been a family favorite!
