    Pineapple Cheesecake Squares
    Pat-in-the-Pan Crust (recipe below)
    2 pkgs (8-oz. each) cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    2/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    Bake crust (recipe below).
    Beat cream cheese in medium bowl until smooth and fluffy; beat in 1/2 cup sugar and the eggs. Stir in 2/3 cup pineapple juice. Pour cream cheese mixture over hot crust. Bake just until center is set, about 20 minutes (the crust will be baked again at this point). Cool completely.
    Mix flour and 1/4 cup sugar in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in 1 cup reserved pineapple juice. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Cover loosely and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. Cut into about 3-inch squares.
