Summary
We are whipping out the aluminum ring mold and presenting this questionable staple of a bygone era: the Jello Dessert. This gelatinous "treat" features First Lady Dorothy Ogilvie's favorite ingredient, cream cheese. Her cookbook includes sixty recipes, ten of which include cream cheese. This one for "Peachy Cream" seemed the most interesting.

Heat peach juice to boiling. Soften gelatin in lemon juice. Dissolve in hot juice; cool. Mash cream cheese, blend in mayonnaise and salt.
