2 cups fresh whole cranberries, rinsed and drained **see notes below
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Mix all ingredients and place in unbaked crust.
Cake Layer:
3/4 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup flour
Mix ingredients for cranberry layer. Pour on top of crust.
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Dollop the mixture by spoonfuls over the cranberry layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
