What Are the Ingredients for a Cranberry Cheese Ball?

[bearydutch]

I can't find a recipe I got from here around the middle of November for a cranberry cheese ball / spread. I think it has cream cheese, craisins, powder sugar and pecans but not sure and what amounts.

I made it once for my open house and thought I saved it on my computer but it's somewhere in my computer's burmuda triangle. I have a customer that would like the recipe, she is craving it. Please post it if you have it. Thanks.
