Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 24 frozen tart shells defrosted according to manufacturer's instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. In a bowl of a stand-up mixer, mix together the corn syrup, melted butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and mix well. Add the lemon juice and vanilla and mix well. Stir in the pecans and raisins.
  • Place the tarts on a rimmed cookie sheet. Fill the tarts with the mixture and bake for 12-15 min., until golden. They will puff up and then fall back down. Let cool. Freeze well, too!
