| ⅓ | cup orange juice | |
| 1 ¾ | cups brown sugar, packed | |

Heat next six ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves; let cool. Add eggs and stir until well combined. Drain raisins and discard liquid. Divide raisins among tart shells. Spoon two teaspoons brown sugar mixture into each tart shell. Bake on bottom rack of preheated oven for about 25 minutes until pastry is golden and filling is bubbling. Cool on baking sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks. Serve cold or warm. Makes about 36 tarts.
