BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — The holidays are a time for family, friends and good food. Simply Sweet meets with Beth from Beth’s Tamales who makes nearly 100 dozen tamales a day during the holiday season.

Beth shares her secret on how to make the perfect savory and sweet tamales. We make a chile relleno kind with homemade masa, charred and peeled chile relleno peppers and a huge hunk of cheese. These get steams for an hour and a half and are ready for enjoying.

Her sweet take is made with her homemade masa, pineapple, rosins and cinnamon. They have the perfect consistency and are the perfect dessert this season.

You can find Beth here and watch the entire Simply Sweet Holiday Special here.
