How to Make Cranberry Pecan Butter Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs with a fork.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (120ml) light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (113g) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Evenly divide 1 cup pecan halves and 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries among your prepared tart shells.
  6. Pour the filling into the tart shells, filling them about 2/3 full. (Hint: For easier filling, pour the batter into a measuring cup first.)
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
