Tamarind Jam image

ZWT7 South & Central America. You may use this on toasted bread with butter which tastes very good says the poster at http://www.coffeeandvanilla.com. The tamarinds of India have longer pods containing 6-12 seeds, whereas African and West Indian versions have short pods containing 1-6 seeds. Fruit of the South American tamarinds are identical to the original African variant.

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 medium jars, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

500 g tamarind pods (sweet is specified, regular tamarind is better if you like more of a sour flavour, says the original)
6 cups water (or a little bit more)
1 1/2 cups golden caster sugar or 1 1/2 cups honey, for more subtle sweetness
1 dash ground cloves (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel tamarind, place in a pot over low/medium fire, add water and sugar or honey and ground clove if using and cook for about an hour and half.
  • Add a little bit more water if needed.
  • Optionally press through the strainer to remove seeds, then place in the jars and close immediately.
  • Store in the refrigerator.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see how it would be popular with people who like sweeter jams.

I'm not a big fan of tamarind, but I thought this jam was pretty good. It's definitely tart, but it's also very flavorful.

This tamarind jam is absolutely delicious! It has the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and tangy flavors. I love the way it brightens up my morning toast and yogurt.
