I felt the same way about the raisins...until I started soaking them in cognac or rum to plump them up....makes a big of difference.
15 minutes sitting in a glass of cognac changes everything....even if it is the raisins sitting.
You've better willpower than I! I'm doing ok with my breads, but butter tarts? No way!
Yup!
Yes! but looking through my recipe it makes 14 muffin size tarts...was there ever a muffin pan that made 14?
take care Liz

There is 1 or 2 fixes for that.
First fix: is don't use the raisins or currants ...treat them as optional.
Second: soak those pesky criters in brandy or rum for 15 minutes before use. This totally changes their texture and taste.
Third: Replace them with either chopped pecans or chopped walnuts.
