ECCLEFECHAN BUTTER TARTS RECIPE
*****************
Ingredients:
2 Beaten eggs
2oz (50 gms) chopped walnuts
Prepared shortcrust pastry
6oz (200 gms) soft brown sugar
1 tbsp vinegar (use ONLY the correct amount or there may be a bitter aftertaste)
8oz (250 gms) mixed dried fruit
4oz (125 gms or one stick) melted butter

Method:
Mix the sugar, butter and beaten eggs together. Stir in the vinegar, then add mixedfiruit and nuts. Line patty tins with pastry (already prepared) and put a spoonful of the mixture into each. Bake in a fairly hot oven (190C/375F) on the middle shelf for 25-30 minutes.

I've made these and their mouth watering, and since i'm always looking for the easy way out, I buy frozen pastry shells. oh their guid! Josephine.
