1 tablespoon candied lemon peel (opt.), minced

Instructions

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter until light and fluffy (4-5 minutes). Add the masa, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix till blended. Add the water, corn puree, raspberry puree and vanilla and mix just until combined. Dough should be light and very moist.

Spread the dough on soaked corn husks in a square approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Distribute some of the raisins, almonds and candied lemon peel in center and roll up to form a cylindrical shape. Tie or fold ends of husks over to enclose tamale.

Steam tamales for 30 minutes and serve warm with some of the ginger custard sauce and a garnish of fresh berries and mint sprigs.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
