Stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 mins until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Measure 1 ½ cups of the gelatin. Refrigerator about 1 ½ hours or until thickened (spoon drawn through leaves definite impression) Carefully pour over fruit in mold, pushing fruit down if it begins to float. Refrigerate about 30 mins or until set but not firm (should stick to finger when touched and should mound).
Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining gelatin 1 ¼ hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Stir in whipped topping with wire whisk until smooth. Stir in diced pears. Spoon over gelatin in mold. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold. |

Notes: This jello has been the family favorite for years! There were never any leftovers until all the kids grew up and actually liked the Polish/Romanian food.
Marilyn has always been the expert unmolder of the tree jello:)
