Here is at least one recipe for Strawberry Tamales.

http://www.recipegoldmine.com/swtama...y-tamales.html

I looked at it when I was considering getting a Tamale King extruder.
Never got the machine, so never made the recipe, but it looks very good
on paper.

Different strokes. It looks and sounds vile to me.

Prepare to be viled right out ;-)

Personally, they sound *really* sweet. But then, I eat (and like) a lot
of Asian desserts.




Strawberry Tamales

10 pounds masa (cornmeal flour)
1/4 cup water
3 heaping tablespoons baking powder
4 cups vegetable shortening, boiled and cooled
4 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups strawberry/raspberry drink concentrate
1/4 cup strawberry marmalade

Tamale Assembly:

4 to 6 dozen dried corn husks
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Waxed paper sheets

Masa:
Place 10 pounds of masa in a large plastic mixing bowl. Mix 1/4 cup
water with baking powder in a cup held over the bowl with the dry masa
until it fizzes, then pour mixture evenly over masa. Melt 4 cups
vegetable shortening in a large saucepan and allow to cool. Pour evenly
over masa and knead masa with hands. Add sugar, brown sugar, drink
concentrate and strawberry marmalade and work masa with a hand blender
to mix evenly. When it starts to feel thick and compact (like fudge)
it's ready. Pat down in bowl and set aside.
To assemble the tamales, soak dried corn husks in warm water for about
an hour until soft. Spread masa mixture evenly onto husk using a wooden
spoon.
Fill with a few strawberry slices and fold corn husk. Fold waxed paper
around the tamale. Steam for 1 1/2 hours.

To steam: To make a steamer, place a metal rack (such as a cooling rack)
in the bottom of a large stock pot or canner. Water level should be
below the rack. Lay extra corn husks over rack. Stand the tamales on the
folded edge in the steamer (the open edge with be facing upward). First
fill the bottom of the steamer, then start stacking tamales on top of
one another. Place any extra husks on top of tamales, cover with pot lid
and steam for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Replenish boiling water, if necessary,
during steaming time. The tamales are done when the husk peels away
easily from the filling.

------------------------------


STRAWBERRY TAMALES

8 dry corn husks

Sweet Pink Tamale Dough
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup or molasses
3/4 cup strained strawberry puree
1 cup white corn Masa Harina
2 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Filling
1 can strawberry pie filling or fresh sliced strawberries

Cream Sauce
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Topping
2 cups fresh strawberries

Bring water, sugar, syrup and puree to boil over medium high heat.
Reduce heat; stir in Masa Harina. Simmer 10 minutes.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Mixture should roll into a ball without
sticking to your fingers.

Spread pink dough onto husks, which have been softened in hot water in
your clean sink. Leave a margin at each side.

Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of strawberry pie filling in a line through
middle of dough. Fold in both sides and press seam together, making sure
strawberry filling stays completely inside the dough. Leave ends open.
Roll husk and tie ends tightly. Steam for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours
depending on thickness. Tamales will come easily off the husk and have a
spongy texture when cooked.

Cream Sauce: Whip cream. Slowly add sour cream and continue whipping
until stiff peak stage. Add remaining ingredients. Chill until ready to
serve.

When ready to serve, dollop cream sauce on cooled sweet tamales. Top
with strawberries.

Yield: 32

No worries.

Have you tried them before? How sweet are they?

I have tried to replicate them, without much success I might add.
I first heard about them on a t.v. show years ago.

I'm sure we'll see how they come out when you decide to do them :-)

I am not having almonds. Is there any replacement for them?
