Yup, yup...it's all about maintenance.
Oookaaayyyyy.....lived in a Tamarind tree...expand please!
What...nobody going to comment on that nice Silky stuck in the tree above me!?
Recipe:
Tamarind syrup, juice and candied fruit:
Take a bunch of ripe tamarinds and shell them.
Fill some old peanut butter jars (or some such) with half honey and half blackstrap molasses (leave some room!) mix it up.
Stuff as many shelled tamarinds as you can into the mix
Put the lid on and leave it for about three months...or more.
When done...shloop out the fruit and eat 'em! Not too many at one time, they make you fart!
Use the syrup for coughs and colds, mix with hot water ( and appropriate alcoholic beverage if you like...rum would be best!) for a hot toddy
Mix with ice water or other fruit juice for a nice summer drink.
Use it to sweeten all kinds of 'tings mon!
