By: LEANNER 
"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."

  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Footnotes
