Here's one for lime jello WITHOUT pineapple. It uses canned pears and is very good:

Lime Jello Salad Whip

1 (6 oz.) pkg lime jello
1 (8 oz.) pkg cream cheese, diced
1 can pears, #2 1/2 can (about 29 oz), drained, juice reserved

1 envelope Dream Whip or 8 oz pkg of Cool Whip

Dissolve jello in 2 cups boiling water, add cream cheese to hot jello, beat with egg beater or electric beater.

Add 1 1/2 cups pear juice. Let jello cool.

Mash pears with potato masher (I just dice them or slice small. Add to cooled jello. Refrigerate until set.

Frost top with whipped topping.

Serves 12

I dress this up by decorating with drained and dried maraschino cherries and a sprinkling of nuts.
