I bought tamarind paste this weekend. I’ve never needed it before (I don’t do much Thai cooking), but figured I’d take it home and figure out what to do with it.
I think I will make candy with it. Tamarind fruit jellies, perhaps?

It also makes a good ingredient to use for marinating fish.

You should do “Agua de Tamarindo” which is a very refreshing drink you can do with just plain water, a bit of suger and tamarind paste, you should drink it with a glass full of ice for a ver refreshing mexican drink… yum!
