Nancy's Pineapple Au Gratin

This is one of the recipes that has been in the family collection for ages! I had completely forgotten about it until I began to browse through Mama's cook books. As it's a perfect complement to ham, it made the menu!

4 (20 oz. cans) pineapple chunks with juice
1 cup of sugar (or 1/2 cup Splenda)
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or whatever blend you like)
1 cup and 2 Tablespoons self-rising flour

Combine flour and sugar together in mixing bowl. Blend in pineapple and juice. Put half of the mixture in a 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Then add the remaining mixture of pineapple and the other half of the cheese. It may seem like there is too much liquid, but it will be just right when done!
Topping: 1 roll crushed Ritz crackers
1 stick melted butter
Mix together and sprinkle on top of the pineapple. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour.
Note: You can use low fat cheese and less butter/cracker mix to make a lower fat version!
