Merry Ukrainian Christmas! Is that how you would say it? Whatever the case may be, today is the beginning of Ukrainian Christmas. Just when you thought the holidays were over, along comes another one! You just can’t escape the festivities.
Being that I am Ukrainian, I will be celebrating with my family tonight. At least in the sense of food and togetherness. Isn’t that the best kind of celebration, though? While I initially made this butter tart recipe for Christmas on December 25th, I wanted to have them again for our Ukrainian Christmas meal. They’re just that good.
Pecan and Raisin Butter Tarts:
(makes 30 tarts)
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
2 cups raisins
2 tbsp cream
1 cup chopped pecans
30 tart shells
Steps:
1. Soak the raisins in warm water for 30 minutes.
2. Cream the butter, sugar, and eggs together.
3. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
4. Pour mixture into tart shells. Make sure that they are no more than half full.
5. Put the tarts into the oven. Bake at 325°F for approximately 25 minutes.
6. Remove. Devour.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
