we must now toast 1/2 cup of pecans, this can be done quickly in the microwave,
place the pecans in a microwave safe dish or measuring cup add some becel and some corn syrup or even maple syrup if you desire and microwave for 2 minutes stiring once while cooking...when done stir again and put a few pecans in each tart shell....
tarts are now ready to bake in a pre heated 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly....let stand for an hour or until cool....ENJOY!!!!!!
we made 10 pecan tarts plus two open face apple tarts....
all the above are for thanksgiving monday
they look and smell great .... and oh yes they are just yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used the frozen pie pastry shells but you can make your own.....
the first two are my recipes
the third is a variation of a becel recipe...
I hope you guys try them they are all low in saturated fat and sugar!!!!
and oh yes molasses and corn syrup or maple syrup are all interchangable
GOOD BAKING!!!!!!!!!!
