Meet the Cook: People practically inhale this dessert. I modified another recipe years ago to come up with a different way of using cranberries - a favorite fruit of mine. My husband and I have three grown children and two grandsons. -Jo Ann Fisher, Huntington Beach, California

This recipe was a huge hit in my house! The crust was light and flaky, and the filling was sweet and tart, with just the right amount of crunch from the pecans. I will definitely be making this again soon.
