heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook
for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.

flour, cottage cheese, vanilla, and salt, beating until smooth. Add
the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in
the milk. Pour the pineapple mixture into the unbaked pie shell and
then gradually pour the cottage cheese mixture over the pineapple
layer, being careful not to disturb the first layer. Bake at 450
degrees F. for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325 Degrees
F. and bake for 45 minutes more, or until a knife inserted halfway
between the center and edge comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and
