Ingredients

  • 1 batch double crust pie crust
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup currants
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Beat eggs well; add sugar, corn syrup, and melted butter and beat until combined.
  • Add currants, walnuts, vinegar, salt and vanilla extract; mix vigorously.
  • Place circles of unbaked pie pastry into cornmeal-sprinkled muffin pans or silicone muffin cups. Paper cups work in a pinch as well.
  • Fill the shells 3/4 full and bake until the pastry is lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. For a runnier tart reduce baking time to 15-17 minutes.
