Butter Tart Recipes

My grandmother used to keep bees, and all of us tried to come up with new ways to use honey. This recipe is my contribution to the effort. I've been making them for about 20 years, with no complaints and lots of rave reviews.

Traditional Canadian butter tarts with a delicious twist - dried cherries replace the standard raisins, and the optional melted toffee bits provide a sweet, chewy topping.

Butter, sugar, cream, raisins, and walnuts fill these tasty butter tarts.

These fruit and nut filled tarts are a great favorite. Dates may be used in place of raisins if preferred.

These are a big hit every time I make them. They are an addition to a basket donated at a local fundraiser full of maple products. Sweet with a smooth flavor, they pair well with your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Tastes like the real thing but is a lot less time consuming!

These butter tarts are traditionally Canadian, made with sweet maple syrup.

This recipe is adapted by Valerie Hatfield-Ringrose from the best of several recipes, plus her own additions. It has been made and perfected many times over the years. The tarts are the classic runny type, one of the few true Canadian concoctions.

This is super easy to prepare, especially if you are using prepared pastry tart shells. Even when I only have a few minutes I can still prepare something home-baked. It will be hard to keep these around for too long. My boys ask for them often.

Gooey, yummy sweet treat that's quick and easy to make!

This is a great treat that is a small twist on pecan or walnut pie. Included in the recipe is butter, brown sugars, spices, coconut and walnuts. These are in great demand every year from my family and friends.

Taste just like butter tarts, minus the tart shell. Very easy to make and delicious!
