Making the Saskatoon Berry Filling:
In a saucepan, mix together the berries and water and simmer for 10 minutes over low-medium heat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and corn starch.
Then add the sugar/corn starch mix to the berries and combine.
Simmer until the mixture slightly thickens.
Set aside to cool.
Making the Butter Tart Filling:
First beat the egg. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Then add the sugar, vanilla, cream, raisins and beaten egg to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 3 minutes.
Set aside.
Putting the Tarts together:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place the tart shells into a muffin tin if homemade or place thawed tart shells on a parchment paper covered baking sheet.
Add a heaping tablespoon of the butter tart mixture into the shell, then add a tablespoon of the Saskatoon pie filling on top of the butter tart filling. Do not mix.
Bake 18 - 20 minutes, or until the crust is slightly browned.
