I found this on the net, supposedly a version made in Canada. It is almost like my mother's pecan pies.

BUTTER TARTS

1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans or raisins
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup light cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla

Mix thoroughly and pour in 12 (4 inch) tart shells. Bake.
