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. Courtesy of Rick Bayless... found on a food blog "This Mama Cooks". Buen provecho...

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 dried ancho chiles
10 ounces apricot preserves
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Toast chilies on a dry medium-hot skillet, pressing them flat, until they are aromatic, 10 seconds per side.
  • Scoop into a bowl, cover with hot tap water, and rehydrate 30 minutes, stirring to insure even soaking.
  • Drain and discard water. If desired, open chiles and gently remove seeds. Transfer to a blender.
  • Add fruit spread, lime juice, sugar and salt. Puree.
  • Finished Chamoy should be the consistency of syrup. If necessary, add a bit of water to thin it to the right consistency.
