I love sampaloc and have tried this in various forms from fresh to processed. The latest I’ve tried is Moniegold chewy tamarind candy in small plastic crystal canisters. The tamarind flavor is so fresh . It is pure tamarind without the nuissance of skin, seeds and fiber.

Can anyone PLEASE provide a good recipe for candied sampaloc? My dad likes the stuff but is doubtful about how sanitary the makers are when they process them and sell them commercially.

Thanks!

this entry reminds me of my 5 peso/day allowance back in elementary school. before I could reach the school grounds I would have already spent 2 pesos for a little bag of sampaloc-the kind that is sweet but also dotted with sea salt. Here in Dallas I get my sampaloc fix from a client who is a distributor of Mexican Snacks. the tamarindo they sell though is rolled in some kind of chile mixture. it is still sweet but surprisingly, it is not as spicy as the sampaloc candy from thailand.
