Yum. Butter Tarts are one of my favourites.
I have to switch up the 'extras' in the filling for my family. Nuts for DD, nuts and dried cranberries for me, currants and raisins for the boys.

That's when we always had them, so maybe that's the tradition. We could only visit then, so that's all that I know. Think that recipe is around here somewhere.
They look wonderful...salivating with that picture!! :-)
Edited to add: I looked up Chess Pie and the picture and ingredients are not what Grama made. So I looked up butter tarts and it's what we were served as chess pie. Go figure!

Well there is a big Butter Tart debate of raisins or no raisins. My Granny (for going on close to 100 years) called her recipe with raisins Butter Tarts, so this is her filling.
for 2 dozen tarts
2/3 cup margarine or butter (I use Becel ' cause that make than healthier, right
)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
2/3 cup corn syrup
1 and 1/2 cup raisins ( I always add extra cause I love them)
1/2 tsp. salt
Cream the margarine and sugar together in a bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Add corn syrup, vanilla, salt and stir. Add the raisins and stir again. Ready to fill shells for baking. Bake at 350 about 12 minutes. The tops should turn golden when ready to remove from the oven.
Personal notes: if the raisins are dry, I soak them in warm water a half hour and drain before adding to the mixture. Do not over fill your shells as the sugar boiling over makes them hard to remove from tart tins.
