SAMPLE RECIPE
Mesilla Pecan Tarts
3 ounces CREAM CHEESE, softened
1/2 cup BUTTER, softened
1 cup sifted FLOUR
1 EGG, slightly beaten
3/4 cup BROWN SUGAR
1 tsp. VANILLA
1 tbsp. BUTTER, softened
3/4 cup chopped PECANS

In a bowl, blend the cream cheese with the butter with a fork until smooth. Add the flour and mix well, then chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Shape the dough into 2 dozen 1-inch balls. Press the dough into 1 3/4-inch muffin or tart pans.

In a bowl, blend the remaining ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed. Top each section of the tart pan with a portion of the mixture. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees and cool the tarts on wire racks before removing them from the pans.

Yield: 24 tarts
