HERE'S THE TART RECIPE

Since we posted our Thanksgiving blog about making the pecan tarts, several of you have asked that we share the recipe. So today we got Mom "up and at it".

Butter Pecan Tarts
Makes eight 3 3/4 inch tartlets or one 10 inch tart.

For the crust:
12 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour

Melt butter for the crust in a saucepan over medium high heat.
Off heat, stir in sugar and vanilla until sugar is dissolved.
Then blend in flour.

Divide flour mixture into 8 equal portions (if making tartlets)
and press into pans. Freeze crust for 15 minutes.
And then bake in a 325 degree overn for 25 - 30 minutes.

For the filling:
Saute 2 cups of pecan pieces in 1 tablespoon of butter
over medium high heat for 3 - 5 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent scorching.

Bring to a boil:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt

Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.

Off heat add:
2 Tablespoons bourbon (or rum)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sauteed pecans

Spoon filling into crust;
Bake at 325 for 10-15 minutes.

When tarts are cool enough to handle,
remove them from the pan.

Pinkie likes the idea of pecan tarts and coffee. She'll have to have a go at making a gluten free version, maybe we'll get to try some without the nuts...

We'll just look at the photos. Wouldn't want momma hurting herself by using the kitchen to do anything more complex than boil water and turn on the microwave.
