Tamarind Balls

Tamarind Balls
tamarid paste (no seeds)
granulated (white) sugar
macadamia nuts

Knead as much sugar into the tamarind paste as needed until consistency is thick and no more sugar can be kneaded in, it should taste slightly sweet but still sour and tamarind-flavored. Roll into balls, placing a macadamia nut in the center and on top, if desired.

Tamarind is a sticky, sour-flavored fruit with a unique taste. It is kind of reminiscent of dates, but not as sweet. It is often seen in Asian recipes.
