CHAMOY SAUCE RECIPE

Chamoy is a condiment from Mexico that is typically served as a dip with or drizzled on fresh fruit. It is made with fruit, such as apricot, mango or plum, chilies and lime juice and is bottled and sold in varying degrees of spiciness. While often made with pickled fruit, you can easily make this at home with apricot jam, lime juice and chile peppers. More than a condiment for fresh fruit or veggies, try it in our chamoy mango sunrise recipe or in a salmon tostada.
