Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start making tamarind jelly, make sure you have everything you need:

  • 2 cups of tamarind pulp
  • 3 cups of water
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Optional: a pinch of salt for added flavor

Prepare the Tamarind Pulp

The first step is to prepare the tamarind pulp. Follow these instructions:

  1. Remove the outer shells of the tamarind pods and extract the pulp.
  2. Mix the tamarind pulp with water in a bowl and let it soak for about 30 minutes. This will soften the pulp and make it easier to strain.
  3. Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the tamarind mixture into another bowl. Use the back of a spoon to extract as much pulp as possible.

Cooking the Jelly

Now that you have the tamarind pulp ready, it's time to cook the jelly:

  1. In a saucepan, combine the tamarind pulp, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Setting and Jarring the Jelly

Once the jelly has thickened to your desired consistency, it's time to set and jar it:

  1. Perform a gel test to check if the jelly has reached the desired consistency. Place a small amount of jelly on a chilled plate and let it cool. If it wrinkles when pushed with a finger, it's ready.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jelly cool for a few minutes.
  3. Pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving some headspace at the top.
  4. Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids while the jelly is still hot.
  5. Allow the jelly to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
