Hi Betty,

Green Corn Tamales
These are great with grilled meats and fish.
Makes about three dozen tamales
4 cups of fresh corn kernels, lightly packed (takes 5 or 6 large ears of corn)
Husks from the ears of corn
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup grated longhorn cheddar cheese
1 small can chopped green chilies (drained)
Salt for seasoning
When shucking the corn, try to peel off husks without tearing. Rinse husks
in water if soiled. Put them in plastic bags to keep moist. Seal and set
aside. Pull silk from ears, rinse them well.
Cut kernels from corn and run through food processor until finely chopped.
Stir in melted butter, cheese and green chilies. Season with salt to taste.
To make tamales, take a corn husk and place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the corn
filling in the center near the stem. Fold 1 side of the husk over to
completely cover the filling, then fold over the other side over on top.
Fold up end to seal in the filling. Gently stack the tamales, folded end
down in a steamer. As you stack, support them against other tamales so the
ends stay shut.
Steam the tamales in a 5 to 6 quart covered pan on a rack just over boiling
water. Tamales should be loosely packed so steam and heat can circulate.
Steam for about one hour. To test for doneness, after one hour, pull tamale
out of the center, up-wrap it.
The tamales in the center of the stack should be firm to the touch, not
runny. Add boiling water to the pan as required.
Serve tamales hot. You can make these ahead and re-heat in the steamer over
boiling water for about 15 minutes.

Green Corn Tamales
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Mexican
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
12 Ears of fresh white or
Yellow corn
1 lb Monterrey Jack cheese,
Grated
1 lb Pure lard
1/2 lb Butter
1/2 c (scant) sugar
1/4 c Light cream, or more
2 Green chiles, parched and
Peeled
1 lb Cheddar or Longhorn cheese
Salt
1. Chop stalk end of each ear of corn flush with
the base of the ear. Shuck, being careful to keep corn
husks intact for later use. Wash husks, and drain.
2. Cut corn off cobs. Grind corn with the Jack
cheese in a meat grinder, blender or food processor.
3. Cream lard and butter to a smooth and fluffy
consistency with an electric mixer at medium speed.
Add the ground corn and cheese mixture, sugar, cream
and salt to taste. Continue to mix with the electric
mixer until mixture looks like whipped cream. Add more
cream if mixture is dry.
4. Cut the roasted green chiles into long strips.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture on each
corn husk. Spread mixture out into a rectangle and
allow at least 2 inches of husk to extend below the
corn mixture and a few inches of margin on both sides
of the husk. Place about 2 strips of green chile down
the center of the corn mixture, then sprinkle with a
few pinches of the grated Cheddar cheese.
5. Hold the two sides of the tamale together to
make the corn mixture fold up around the filling.
Then tuck one edge of the husk over the top of the
tamale and roll, tying the ends with strips of corn
husks. If preferred, the bottom end of the husk can be
folded up before rolling. If you plan to freeze the
tamales, freeze them at this point.
6. Place the tamales upright on a rack in a
pressure cooker or large steaming kettle. Before the
rack is completely filled with tamales, pour 1 to 2
cups water into the bottom of the pan, about 1/2 inch
deep.
7. Steam at 15 lbs pressure for 25 minutes, or in
a conventional steamer for 45 minutes. Serve warm
with Green Chile Sauce, plain, or with beef, pork or
chicken added. These may be kept in the refrigerator
for 3 to 4 days.
Makes 24 tamales.
Freezing Hint: Package tamales in plastic bags, 12
per package or other suitable quantity. If
packaging large quantities, keep track of the contents
on a card. Maximum Recommended Freezer Storage: 1 year

2 cups Blueberries
2 cups Strawberries -- hulled & halved
2 cups Raspberries

1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tb cinnamon sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream -- whipped cream or frozen yogurt
Fruits can be fresh or frozen.
Rinse all fruits. Drain and remove excess moisture by blotting with paper
towels. Gently place in a large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and
set aside.
Mix together thoroughly in large mixing bowl the sugar, flour, salt and
nutmeg (preferably freshly ground). Spread evenly over fruit mixture, then
gently combine. If using tapioca, combine and let filling stand 15 minutes
before baking pie.
Ease pastry in bottom of deep dish 9 1/2 or 10 inch glass pie pan. Spoon
fruit mixture into crust, mounding slightly in center. Moisten edge of
pastry with water to allow better sealing of crusts.
Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture on underside of top crust, then flip over
and center over fruit mixture, pressing down lightly with fingers to seal
crusts together. Trim off excess pastry with sharp knife, leaving a 1"
overhang.
Roll pastry overhang together from the underside and turn down crusts
together in a 1/2 wide fold. Flute edges of pastry according to preference.
Cut steam vents in pie with sharp knife. Place on an aluminum foil lined
cookie sheet or pizza pan with rim, then put pie on center rack.
Bake at 325F for 60 minutes, then increase temperature to 350F and bake
another 30 minutes, or until fruit thickens and bubbles through steam vents.
Let cool 30 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or cold with vanilla ice
cream, frozen yogurt or whipped cream.

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pie Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup Crisco (do not substitute)
1 teaspoon salt

9. Place the first ball on the flour, then turn over.
10. This is to be sure that the ball is evenly coated with flour.
11. Begin rolling lightly from the center and work your way around the ball
so that you are getting an even circle.
12. Keep scooping teaspoons of flour on top of the dough if your rolling
pin starts sticking.
13. When it is slightly larger then your pan, roll the crust up onto the
rolling pin to transfer to the pan.
14. Pour sugar/cornstarch mixture over berries and gently mix.
15. Pour into 9" pie pan lined with prepared crust.

while baking.
