BUTTER TARTS (WITH CURRANTS)
This recipe was a Christmas treat I remember from my childhood. I think it originates in Canada, but I'm not sure. My mother always made one batch of butter tarts and one batch of tarts with raspberry jam. The jam tarts were fair game, but she always hid most of the butter tarts for herself.

CURRANT TARTS
A holiday treat! Everyone who has ever tried these luscious currant and butter tarts asks for the recipe. My grandmother made dozens of them every Christmas. She called them "English Butter Tarts". It's a very old recipe she got from a neighbor who came from England. I am including her recipe for the pastry dough she used (contains lard, a no-no these days) but premade or your own pastry works just fine!

Steps:
- To Make the Filling:.
- Wash the currants and drain them.
- Stir the sugar and butter together well. Mix in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the currants.
- To Make the Pastry:.
- Mix the flour and salt together.
- Cut the lard into the flour and salt until the consistency is like crumbs. Gradually add enough of the water to make the dough hold together, and form it into a ball.
- Roll out the dough and cut out with a round cookie cutter and fit into muffin tins (regular size, not mini).
- To Assemble & Bake:.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
- Put a large spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the filling into each unbaked tart shell.
- Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbly and golden and crust is done. (Don't overbake - the filling should not be too brown or crispy.).

Serve warm or at room temperature. Pass whipped cream if desired.
REDCURRANT TART
A summertime favourite from my mum's Czech recipe book. This tart has a cake has a rich sweet pastry base that contrasts with the acid berries and the sweet meringue topping. The pastry is quite hard work, but the result is worth the effort!

Homemade pastry is cut into 4-inch rounds and fitted into muffin pans. It is then filled with a butter, brown sugar and raisin and currant filling. Bigger (and better) than the tarts you would buy in a store.

Steps:
- Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl; cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. When you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray 36 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Roll pastry out 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4-inch rounds; press rounds into the bottom and up sides of muffin cups to make tart shells.
- Beat brown sugar and butter together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla extract just until combined. Stir raisins and currants into butter mixture; fill tart shells with mixture 2/3-full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes; leaving oven closed, reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and bake until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 10 rounds with a 4-inch cutter. Fit into 3 1/2-inch round tart pans. Using scissors or a sharp paring knife, trim pastry even with edge of tart pans. Transfer to refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prick pastry all over with the tines of a fork. Line pastry with parchment rounds; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until pastry begins to color around the edges 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and continue to bake just until the pastry dries out and turns golden, 10 to 20 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
- Fill half of each tart shell with lemon curd, and the other side with currant curd. Smooth the top flush with edge of tart shell.
- Pipe meringue onto tarts using a 3/8-inch star tip to completely cover. Preheat broiler. Place tarts under broiler and broil until golden brown, alternatively, you can use a hand-held propane torch.
- Place each tart on a serving plate. Serve with raspberry sauce, and garnish with a few pomegranate seeds.
