CHAMOY



Chamoy image

PREP TIME INCLUDES 30 minutes of hydration time. On a recent trip back to the U.S., my brothers introduced me to a yummy drink concoction called a Chamango. I was instantly hooked, but alas I knew that once back in Costa Rica it would become just a distant memory. I am so happy to say that I was wrong! Just happened to find a bag of Ancho chiles in the kitchen cupboard when I got home. I had purchased them on a trip Walmart in San Jose, not knowing what I would do with them. But since dried chiles are a rarity here, I snatched them up anyways. It must have been fate!!! Anyways, I scoured the web to find a recipe for Chamoy, the principal ingredient in the Chamango.

Time 1h

Yield 8 apples

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream, warmed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chamoy
8 small green apples, washed, dried, and stems removed, room temperature
1 cup tajin seasoning
8 popsicle sticks
instant read thermometer

Steps:

  • Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan. Cook over high heat, without stirring (so the mixture doesn't crystallize), for about 10 minutes, until the mixture begins to turn golden brown. Note: Use a larger pan than you think you need; the caramel will bubble up when you add the cream.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour in a little bit of the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. When it begins to recede, carefully whisk to incorporate the cream. Continue adding the cream in increments, stirring to incorporate.
  • Once the cream is incorporated, stir in the salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 10-12 minutes more, until the caramel reaches 250°F (120°C) on an instant read thermometer. Remove the pot from the heat and let the caramel cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the caramel to a heatproof liquid measuring cup or a medium bowl. Stir in the chamoy.
  • Stick a popsicle stick though the top of each apple, about ⅔ of the way through.
  • Dip an apple into the caramel until completely coated. Lift the apple from the caramel and spin the stick for 20-30 seconds to remove excess caramel. Roll in the tajín seasoning, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples.
  • Serve the apples immediately, or let set at room temperature for 1 hour. Leftover caramel apples will keep, loosely covered, in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy fruits: This will ensure that your chamoy has a vibrant flavor.
  • Experiment with different types of chili peppers: The type of chili pepper you use will determine the spiciness of your chamoy. For a mild chamoy, use ancho or guajillo peppers. For a spicier chamoy, use cayenne or habanero peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to add other ingredients: You can add other ingredients to your chamoy to give it a unique flavor. Some popular additions include garlic, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
  • Be patient: Chamoy takes time to develop its full flavor. Let it sit for at least a week before using it.

Conclusion:

Chamoy is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be used as a marinade, a dipping sauce, or a topping. It is also a popular ingredient in cocktails and other beverages. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to add flavor to your food, give chamoy a try.
