Grease a baking dish. Arrange in layers, sliced pineapple, sliced sweet  
potato, grated coconut and spring onions. Spread cheese sauce. Repeat  
layers until all sweet potato and pineapple have been used. Bake in a hot  
oven for 30 minutes. Serve hot as a vegetable with cooked meat or fish.  
To prepare cheese sauce: Melt butter, stir in flour using a wooden  
spoon. Cook over gentle heat for 3 minutes without browning. Remove from  
heat and gradually stir in half the milk, stir until well blended. Return to  
heat, cook slowly until sauce thickens, stirring all the time. Gradually add  
remaining milk. Bring to the boil. Add grated cheese and salt and pepper to  
taste, mix well. Makes 2 cups.
