        As a Canadian who lives right next to our French friends in Quebec … the only pie that trumps the sweetness of pecan pie … is French Canadian Sugar Pie.

        I had an old French Canadian neighbor who used to make them every Christmas and gift us one every year … it gave you temporary diabetes and would literally make you see stars if you ate a second piece.

        I asked the husband once what the ingredients were and he named just about every type of sugar substance in the kitchen … white sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, condensed milk. And in traditional northern rural Quebec fashion, it was an enormous pie.
