Tips and Replacements:

  • Tamarind is a suitable replacement for dried apricots.
  • We recommend the use of Tajin chile powder as it has citric acid, which helps with the development of authentic chamoy flavors.
  • Unsweeten cranberry juice concentrate is a suitable replacement for hibiscus flowers in case those aren’t found at the supermarket.
  • The chile de arbol is optional. For a less spicy sauce, reduce the number or do not use it.
  • Use a powerful blender and a good strainer for a velvety sauce consistency.
  • Due to high acidity, this chamoy sauce is suitable for canning.
  • Chamoy treats keep inside a tin with a lid and parchment paper. These treats will be fresh up to four days.
