Mom's Butter Tarts

Temp: 400 deg F  Time: 15-20 minutes

1 cup currants or sultana raisins
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg, if liked

Clean currants and put into mixing bowl, scald with boiling water, drain and while currants are still warm, add brown sugar, butter and beaten egg. Stir well together for a few minutes, add vanilla. If the ingredients are mixed together while currants are still warm, there will be a nice butterscotch-like syrup.

Line muffin tins with pastry or use preformed tart shells and put in a spoonful of the filling. Bake.
