Sweet Tamales with Pineapple and Coconut
For these sweet Mexican tamales, pineapple is cooked with sugar and water so that it becomes extra soft and sweet. It tastes great in combination with coconut and raisins. The masa dough is mixed with butter instead of lard.
To Die For Blueberry Muffins
This blueberry muffin recipe makes eight extra large and yummy breakfast muffins with a sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top for a wonderful, extra-generously-sized, deli-style muffin. Add extra blueberries if you want!
Rich Dark Fruitcake
This is my mother's very old recipe, at least 60 years old. My mother baked this for my wedding, and it sure is delicious and also a great Christmas cake. This is a very long recipe, but well worth the trouble. You can substitute a cup of drained maraschino cherries for the candied cherries, if you like.
