By jeenikeen

Ingredients

• Pastry for 18 deep tart shells
• 1 cup (250 mL) raisins
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) corn syrup
• 1 cup (250 mL) packed brown sugar
• 3 tbsps (45 mL) melted butter
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped walnuts or pecans

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, cover raisins with boiling water.  Let soak for 20 minutes.  Drain and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter and nuts.  Stir in the raisins.  Pour evenly into the prepared tart shells.

Place into a preheated 450’F (220’C) oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350’F (180’C) an open door slightly for 15 – 20 seconds to bring temperature down rapidly.  Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbling and deep golden brown.  Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes before removing tarts from the pan.

Makes 18.
