I Make these every year and they are always a hit !!! I also made some a little shorter and wider then tint the dough green and call them monster toes... they look so creepy : )

Maybe I made a mistake but 5 cups of water seemed a bit much for my margaretta blender. Also was I suppose to soak the pods because blending they just broke them up. Anyway if I try again I will soak and maybe use chicken or beef broth for liquid. Over all it did not make a good sauce for tamales. Maybe someone else will have better luck

I liked this recipe but my husband didn't care for it I think he was dissapointed thought it was an apple pie I had made. His 85 year old grandmother loved it had it with some coolwhip topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon she said it was great.I goofed a little started to mix the flour and sugar with pears and realized I was supose to layer mixture over pears oh well still came out great!
