Pineapple Cheese Pie

This uses crushed pineapple and cottage cheese! The recipe comes from my grandmother who got it from a woman named Lynn Chung (whom she worked with at UCI Med Center). For the gelatin, her notes say that orange gelatin tastes especially good in this pie. Cook time is chill time.
