MEXICAN TAMARIND CANDY



Mexican Tamarind Candy image

This is the most favorite Mexican candy of all 10 of my children...sweet, spicy, and so yummy. Full of tamarind fruit. Makes a great activity for children to help with on a long rainy or hot summer day...and homemade has no traces of lead...like some store-bought tamarind candies.

Time 4h45m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound tamarind pods, peeled
1 cup water
1 orange, peeled and segmented
4 cups white sugar
4 tablespoons chile-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®), or more to taste
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Bring tamarind pulp, water, and orange to a boil in a pot; continue to boil for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Pour tamarind mixture into a colander placed over a large bowl. Mash and scrape against the side of the colander until all the juice and pulp drips into the bowl. Dump remaining seeds into a strainer and repeat the process; remove the outer casing around the seeds by hand and toss out the seeds.
  • Blend outer casings with juicy pulp in an electric blender.
  • Return mixture to the large pot and add sugar, Tajin®, and butter. Bring to a soft boil, stirring constantly. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.
  • Remove from heat and let cool, about 2 hours.
  • Fill a pastry or plastic sandwich bag with the candy mixture and squeeze onto plastic spoons. Place plastic spoons onto a cookie sheet and chill until firm, about 1 hour. Coat with more Tajin® if desired, wrap with plastic, and close with a twist tie.
