Pineapple Pie

Wow! Thank's so much for this recipe! I tried this once years ago. I received all kinds of requests from relatives for the recipe. Unfortunately I lost the recipe after the only time I made it. I have been searching for it for over 20 years and came up empty. Even called and spoke with Borden's. Since I found it originally on Eagle Brand label. They could not help either. It is Fabulous I give it a 10!!
