This is one of
the classic Scottish tarts and really should be included in any and every collection of Scottish recipes.
Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
180g soft brown sugar
1 tbsp vinegar
240g mixed dried fruit
60g chopped walnuts
enough
shortcrust pastry for a 22cm pie plate
120g melted butter
Method:
Roll out the pastry on a lightly-floured surface and cut with a 6cm pastry cutter. Use these to line lightly-greased jam tart (patty tins).
Meanwhile mix together the sugar, butter and beaten eggs. When well combined, add the vinegar and then the mixed fruit and nuts. Place a teaspoon of the mixture in the prepared pastry shells then place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
