When thoroughly dissolved, stir in 1 ½ C. cold water. Drain the
sirup from one 8-oz. can crushed pineapple and one 8-oz. can pear
halves. Combine the sirups and add 2/3 C. to .the gelatin mixture.
Stir well and chill unti.l thick. Dice the pears. Add them, the crushed

carefully and thoroughly. Pour into a 5 1/2 C. ring mold which hns
been rinsed out with cold water. Chill until firm. Unmold and garnish
with salad greens, honeydew melon and cantaloupe balls and rasp-
berries if they'll hang together, marinated in French dressing as a
salad, or with sweetened fruit and no salad greens or dressing as a
dessert. (This dish needs no recommendation from me. Just make it,
and you'll know why.)
