Pineapple Au Gratin

2 cups self-rising flour*
2 cups sugar
3 cans (20 ounces each) unsweetened pineapple chunks
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1⁄2 cup butter or margarine, melted
70 butter-flavored crackers, crushed

In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. Drain pineapple, reserving 11⁄2 cups juice.

Add juice to flour mixture; mix well. Stir in the pineapple and cheese. Pour into a greased 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and stir; bake 10 minutes longer. Combine melted butter and cracker crumbs; sprinkle over pineapple mixture. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes our clean.

Yield: 16-20 servings.

*Editor’s Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup; add all-purpose flour to equal 1 cup.
