++++++++++++++ ++++ Combine the undrained pineapple,
1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch and water in a small
saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook for 1 minute
more. Remove from the heat and cool to room
temperature. Combine the 2/3 cup of sugar and butter
in a bowl, beating, using an electric mixer set on
medium speed, until well blended. Add the 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 serve at room temperature.
