What is Chamoy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chamoy is a Mexican condiment that is very underutilized in the United States. It’s made by cooking a vibrant combination of dried fruits, hibiscus flowers, chiles, and Tajin seasoning low and slow on the stovetop. The result is a large batch (5 cups<\/strong>) of amazingly flavorful Chamoy Sauce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This classic spicy sweet-and-sour sauce is a staple in Mexico and Central America, as a topping to use on salads, roasted vegetables, pork, steak, and other proteins. It’s also popular on tacos or nachos, mixed into paletas popsicles, in shaved ice, or even roasted with nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, its most common uses are drizzled over fresh-cut fruit like watermelon or mango, or as a Chamoy Rim Dip<\/strong> for beer and cocktails. You can even spoon it into smoothies like classic Mangonada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chamoy sauce is easy to customize as a very thick dip or as a thin drizzle, just by adding additional water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does it Taste Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The base of the sauce is made with dried apricots, raisins, and hibiscus flowers – so the flavor is slightly sweet, deep, tangy, and earthy<\/em>. There is also a great smoky flavor from the dried chile peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is chamoy spicy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ancho chiles are more smoky rather than spicy<\/strong>. Therefore, you can make a lower spice version by using only ancho chiles. Or spice it up by using arbol chiles as well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although some Mexican Chamoy Sauce recipes call for a long list of ingredients, including apples, plums or prunes, chili powder, and carrots, we feel these ingredients offer the biggest bang for the buck…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
