Caribbean Tamarind balls

Instructions

1- Add tamarind pulp and 1 cup granulated sugar to a bowl and mash together with a spoon or fork.

2- Take small amounts of the tamarind and sugar mix and shape them into small balls by rolling them in your hands.

3- Make them the size of a marble or slightly bigger, as you like.

4- Add the remaining sugar to a flat surface, like a plate or a sheet pan.

5- Roll the tamarind balls in granulated sugar until they're well-coated.

6- You can eat the tamarind balls immediately, or you can let them set for a few hours or overnight.

7- Allowing them to set will give them a firmer texture and more crystallized sugar coating.

8- Enjoy.
