A favored prep from the kitchens of Rollande et Pierre. I made so many of these one holiday season I cried when I got home from work from sheer exhaustion. But the pie was a huge hit with the customers and every now and then I'll make it again for old times' sake.

Turn off heat, leave in oven for one hour longer.

- Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form, add remaining sugar and continue to beat til glossy but not rock hard stiff. Flavor with brandy. Break apart the mincemeat and soften with the prepared orange mixture. Fold into the whipped cream.
- Fill the completely cooled pie shell with the mincemeat fluff.
