  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and butter a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In the prepared pie plate, layer fresh cranberries and chopped pecans, then sprinkle with half a cup of sugar.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and one cup of sugar until smooth. Add almond or vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until fluffy.
  4. Gradually add flour and salt on low speed until combined.
  5. Spread the batter over the cranberry mixture evenly.
