“This is an old recipe that everyone always asks for when they try these tarts. They are best when eaten about 5 minutes out of the oven, but are great any time. Store these in a sealed container.” - by LEANNER

2 cups dark brown sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
