Caribbean Tamarind Balls

These jewel-like tamarind balls are a perfect balance of sweet and tart—a chewy tamarind center coated in crystallized sugar that cracks between your teeth. A traditional Caribbean confection that's addictively tangy and requires just two ingredients.

  1. 1
    Combine tamarind pulp and granulated sugar in a bowl. Mash together with a spoon or fork until well combined.
  2. 2
    Roll small amounts of the mixture between your palms to form balls roughly the size of a marble.
  3. 3
    Pour remaining sugar onto a flat surface. Roll each tamarind ball in the sugar until evenly coated.
  4. 4
    Eat immediately for a softer texture, or allow to set for several hours or overnight for a firmer interior and more crystallized sugar coating.
