Time 30m

Yield 12 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup dried currant
1 dozen prepared tart shells (3-inch)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup cream (whipping or cereal)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over currants and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain. Place currants on paper towel to absorb extra water. Place about 1 teaspoon currants in each tart shell.
  • Combine butter, cream, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and lemon juice until mixed. Mixture will have bits of butter remaining and will looked curdled --- this is normal. Pour about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of filling over currants in each tart.
  • Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes.
  • (If making 2-inch tarts use about 1/2 teaspoons of currants and 2 to 3 tsps. of filling per tart).
