In my large family, every cousin, aunt, mother and grandparent makes these little tarts for special occasions. The love that goes into them is evident by their sweet tast with a slight almond flavored topping. My mother would make over 400 each winter and freeze them until they were served. Our family could hardly wait and would try to even eat them frozen. The recipe originated with my paternal grandmother, who was given the recipe form a dear friend that lived to be well over 100 years of age. This recipe has been made for more than 200 years, as it has been a family favorite for many, many generations.
