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.

CHAMOYADA
Chamoyadas originated in Mexico and are commonly made with fresh mangos and chamoy sauce. I used fresh frozen mangoes and pineapple juice for an added tropical twist. I always garnish with a tamarind straw but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, I was unable to find them at my local Mexican store. Top with fresh cubed mangoes if desired.
