• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place tart shells on a baking sheet.
• Beat brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter together in a bowl until creamy; beat in egg just until combined. Stir in pecans, raisins, coconut, vinegar, and salt; divide mixture evenly into tart shells.

Steps:

• Fill a cup with ice and water. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening to make pea-size pieces. Add the tablespoons of ice water from the cup until dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball. The dough is now complete. Put it into a plastic bag or wrap it up and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Roll the dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut the shells using a large glass or your smallest pot. You should have about 12 shells when finished. Put these shells into a greased muffin or tart pan.
