Note: See the "Crema" recipe which is included in this collection.
Soak the purple corn in the 10 cups of cold water overnight. Remove
the stem and bottom from the pineapple and dice pineapple with the
skin on. Transfer the corn to a large pot and measure the soaking
liquid. Add enough water to make 15 cups. Pour the liquid back over
the corn, and add the pineapple, quince, cinnamon sticks, cloves,
lemon juice and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer
for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove from the heat, remove the corn cobs and
strain the mixture, pressing against the strainer with a spoon to
extract all the juice from the fruits and spices. There should be
about 8 cups of liquid. If not, place the corn and fruit in a  saucepan
with water just to cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.  Strain and
add amount needed to total 8 cups. Discard the corn and  fruit. Place
the liquid in a heavy saucepan, reserving 1 cup of the  liquid. Add the
dried prunes, cherries and apricots to the 7 cups of  liquid. In a
small bowl, combine the reserved 1 cup of liquid and the  sweet potato
flour or cornstarch. Mix thoroughly with a fork until  dissolved. Pour
this mixture back into the saucepan with the liquid  and dried fruits.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until  the mixture is thick,
about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour  the pudding into a
deep 2-quart serving dish or individual ramekins.  Let cool. To serve,
dust the top with ground cinnamon. Serve the  pudding with Crema. This
recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.  Recipe Source: TOO HOT TAMALES with
