Ingredients:  
3 cups brown sugar
1½ cups of raisins
1 cup margarine or butter, melted
3 eggs
6 tbsp of cream
3 tsp vanilla
48 unsweetened and unbaked tart shells

Directions:
Kick the tires and light the fires to 375º F.
Melt the margarine, then add in the vanilla, egg, cream and brown sugar. The lovely part about these is they are SO easy to make. Throw it all in, mix the ever-livin devil out of it, and you are good.
Now add in your raisins, and half a cup is the bare minimum i use. I find that sometimes there is too much liquid and not enough raisins by the time i reach the end, be brave and just add in what you need at that point.
Put your tart shells, still frozen, on the tray and fill a good ¾ of the way. I say still frozen because i have found when they are defrosted the filling leaks through the pastry, not ruining them, but making them softer. A good frozen tart shell will hold the contents in, and cook at the same time.
Bake in a 375º oven for 15-18 minutes, until the rims of the tarts are beautifully browned.
