I spent some time in Guatemala many years ago and we had a lovely vegetarian dinner at a local woman’s house on New Year’s Eve. Oh, it was so good! There were these tamales with raisins and we were served a tea that tasted of apples and chamomile. Here is my attempt to duplicate that recipe! I wish I could remember more about the tamales…….Outside, the local folk were shooting off sticks of dynamite (for lack of fireworks), but we didn’t care, we were in foodie vegetarian heaven!
