Steps:
- In medium bowl, beat eggs LIGHTLY with a fork.
- Add corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla.
- Stir until blended.
- Divide nuts and cranberries evenly among tart shells.
- Pour in filling until shells are 2/3 full.
- Bake in preheated 350F (180C) degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or just until set and golden.
- Hint: if you have a 3 or 4 cup measuring cup, pour the filling into this and then fill up the tart shells.
- Much easier.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Don't overcook the cranberry filling. The cranberry filling should be cooked until it is thickened and bubbly, but not so long that it becomes thick and jammy.
- Use a good quality butter. The butter is one of the main ingredients in butter tarts, so it's important to use a good quality butter. Unsalted butter is the best choice, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the tarts.
- Don't overfill the tart shells. The tart shells should be filled about 3/4 full. If you overfill them, the filling will spill over and make a mess.
- Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The tarts should be baked until the filling is no longer jiggly and the crust is golden brown. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
Cranberry pecan butter tarts are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
