Pear Salad
1 large can Pear Halves, reserve juice 1 (8-oz.) package
Cream Cheese, softened 1 (8oz.) container Cool Whip, thawed
1/2 cup finely chopped Pecans
2/4 cup Maraschino Cherries, quartered and drained well 2
Tbsp. Maple Syrup, can be imitation
Dry pear halves off gently with paper towels. Lay on tray
and repeat the process until all pears are done. here's a
tip-------but a good brand, they are in better shape than
off brands. Beat cream cheese with maple syrup until smooth
with electric mixer. By hand, fold in nuts and chopped
cherries. Fold well. Spoon filling into pear halves using
all of the filling up. You just heap it up in the pears.
Place a well drained half of maraschino cherry cut side down
on top of pear filling. Chill several hours covered. Serve
on a bed of lettuce on pretty salad plates.
footnote: If using for a dessert, zig-zag chocolate lines
across dessert plate and place pear in center of plate.
