If you are hosting a party this holiday season, you have every excuse to make these corn-husk-wrapped gifts. You can even get your family together beforehand to make the tamales together: the party before the party! It shouldn't be too hard to enlist help just as long as you promise first pick of these freshly steamed, light and fluffy red chile pork tamales. This is a central Mexican style tamale, which has a lighter texture than the more pudding-like tamales you will find in other places in Mexico. I hope you enjoy making and savoring these delicious gifts -- Happy Holidays!
