1 (3 oz.) pkg. lime Jell-o
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
8 maraschino cherries and 2 tbsp cherry juice
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained

Place 1 ball into each of the 4 pear halves, then into the ring mold over the thickened Jell-o layer. Arrange remaining cream cheese balls between pear halves.
