Butter Tarts

Dscf1186This is seriously a huge accomplishment for me, I'm really not big into baking.  I find it tedious, and in the end I'm left with an enormous mess in my kitchen, no - a total disaster.  The problem is, I love to eat baking.  It's my favorite treat.  And I volunteered to bring 2 dozen baked goods to my parents for our family Christmas celebration tomorrow night.  So today I tackled the butter tart.  Growing up we made these with Mom in the kitchen, and they were always one of my favorite treats.  This recipe isn't exactly the one my Mom used to use, but they are pretty good if I do say so myself.



Butter Tarts:
Premade tart shells
1 cup of butter
3 cups brown sugar
5 tbsp cream
1 1/2 cups raisins
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients together an fill pastry shells up to 3/4 full.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until they start to bubble.
