Tamale Night

I had my first ever tamale tonight!!  I spend all day making tamale's.  I cooked the pork in the crock pot last night, made my own chili sauce this morning, made the masa, soaked the corn husks and rolled the tamale's.  I cooked them in the crock pot.  I saw a recipe online for cooking tamale's in the crock pot. I ended up using 2 different recipes to make my tamale's and I have to admit they were really good!!  I will have to write up the recipe and post it on the blog.  I now understand why they are only made for special occasions!!!  This is a really labor intensive endeavor!!  But it was satisfying when  Celtic Man said they were really good for my first effort.  Think it will be awhile before I make them again!!
