Steps:
- Pull 1/4-inch strings from reserved husks to wrap tamales, or use twine; set aside. Cover corn husks (including pulled strings) with warm water and let stand until pliable, at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, coarsely chop pineapple tidbits; set aside. Add enough water to reserved pineapple syrup to make 3 cups liquid. In large bowl, add pineapple liquid, corn masa, shortening, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until combined, and then use hands to form soft, creamy dough. Stir in food color until light pink.
- Drain corn husks; pat dry with paper towels. Place 2 tablespoons dough on each corn husk, spreading slightly, making small indentation in center with back of spoon. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons pineapple and 1 teaspoon raisins in indentation, pressing in slightly. Place another 2 tablespoons dough on top of fruit to cover completely.
- Fold each side of the corn husk over filling to cover. Using thin pieces of husk, tie each end of the tamale.
- In 5-quart Dutch oven, place round cooling rack. Pour boiling water in Dutch oven, almost touching rack. (Water should not touch tamales when they are added.) Place 6 empty corn husks on top of rack. Stand filled tamales inside pan, leaning against sides all around. Cover tamales with damp towel, and cover pan, tucking in edges of towel, so no edges hang over sides of pan. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer gently 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until tamale dough becomes firm. Add more water if needed during cooking time. Let stand uncovered 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully unfold each tamale by removing string and opening husk.

Steps:
- Place butter and sugar in a medium size bowl and, with the help of a mixer, beat for a couple of minutes until it has a creamy texture. About 2 minutes.
- In a larger bowl, mix Masa Harina, baking Powder and raisins. Stir well and then add the warm water little by little.
- While mixing the dry ingredients with the water, add the drops of red food coloring. Mix well to have a uniform color.
- Once you've incorporated the food coloring into the dough, it will look slightly pink. Now add the butter and sugar mixture.
- Beat the dough with your hands or a wooden spoon, as the dough is somehow too heavy to work with your mixer unless you have a Heavy Duty Stand Mixer like Kitchen Aid. The dough will be ready when it looks fluffy and creamy, like a very soft ice cream. If your dough seems too dry, add a little more water. The consistency has to be very soft.
- Drain the corn husks from the soaking water. Place about 1/3 cup of the dough over the corn husk and wrap the tamal. If you're also making savory tamales, you can tie the sweet tamales in order to differentiate them from the savory ones. Keep assembling the rest of the tamales.
- Place the tamales standing up in your steam pot (Tamalera), add about an inch of hot water, cover with corn husks, aluminum foil or a plastic bag, and then cover with the pot lid. Cook for 1 to 1 1/4 hour at medium heat. Add more hot water if needed to avoid burning the tamales.

MEXICAN TAMALES
30 years ago my ex invited a couple over for a BBQ. It was actually to teach me to make authentic tamales. t was one of the good things he had done--ok,probably the only good thing! LOL Time is very difficult to judge. I do the crock pot prep over night, so cooking time is steaming time.

Steps:
- Place all filling ingredients into a crock pot and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. (I usually do this procedure overnight).
- When meat is done, remove meat from sauce and shred in bowl this give you the opportunity to remove the fat out of the meat.
- Run sauce through sieve to remove skins of chiles, garlic and etc. Your sauce should be thick and a beautiful deep red color! Reserve 1 cup of meat sauce for the tamale dough.
- While meat mixture is cooling, place husks in warm water to soften.
- Mix all the ingredients of tamale dough plus 1 cup reserved meat sauce together (I do this in my kitchen aid -- makes the job much easier!).
- Take approx 3 tbsp of dough and place in the middle of corn husk. Spread thinly place filling in the middle with an olive and wrap until dough meets, the Woman who taught me how to make these -- says an olive in the middle brings good luck!
- Fold ends and roll package so that corn husk has covered all of filling.
- Place in steamer. Steam for 40 minutes.
- Spoon sauce over tamales on plate.
- These freeze very well. I freeze after they are steamed so the prep of dinner is quick, I do know those who freeze before they are steamed and it seems to work as well.
