Tamales

Every year for Christmas my sisters and I make tamales.  Its an all day affair and even though it's a lot of work it's being with my sisters that makes it so much fun! We made 22 dozen this year.  We used one whole gunny sack of red Chile pods, 25lbs of pork, 35lbs of masa and lots corn husks.
This is a pressure cooker my Mother-in-law lends me to cook
the tamales in.  It's very old but in great
shape and cooks the tamales just perfect. 

My sister's Cheryl, Jovonna and Renee busy making the tamales. 

Here I am quality control...hee hee

Made tamales before they are cooked.

In the pressure cooker ready to be cooked
I wish I could send you all a tamale to taste!!  Have a super great day!!
