Instructions: Drain a 15- or 16-ounce can of juice-packed pineapple tidbits and reserve the juice. Measure 1 cup of the drained tidbits; then arrange the tidbits in a single layer in the bottom of the pie shell. Pour the reserved pineapple juice into a measure and add cold water to make 1 3/4 cups. Set aside. (Refrigerate remaining tidbits for other uses.)

Put 1/4 cup cold water in the blender container and sprinkle on gelatin. Wait 1 minute, until softened, then add boiling water. Cover and blend on high speed until gelatin granules are dissolved (scrape blender jar). Add the reserved pineapple juice-water mixture; cover and blend. Add the cottage cheese; cover and blend smooth. Add the instant pudding mix; cover and blend smooth. Mound mixture over pineapple in pie shell and sprinkle with cinnamon. Chill several hours, until set.
