Which one of the several delightful pies Huette mentioned did you mean?

A local bakery, that has since gone strictly wholesale, and i rarely 
see there stuff anymore (Just Desserts), made a cranberry-pecan torte 
that i used to buy at least 15 years ago. I brought it to 
Thanksgiving every year for a few years, but my family complained 
that it wasn't sweet enough. So i continued to buy them for myself 
and my daughter for holidays at home - Just Desserts offered several 
sizes and the one we bought was less that 9".

I think i mentioned that this year i was in Sandy Eggo, not for 
Thanksgiving, but from the 26 of Dec to the 1 of Jan. So i baked two 
pecan pies at my mom's house using Huette's recipe, which i had 
already tested on myself (mmm-mmm-mmm). Mom, my daughter and i had 
one (which we didn't finish, so i got to take a bit home), and i gave 
the other to my brother for his family. There were definitely no 
complaints.

Thanks, Huette.
