The Chamoy pickles recipe is one of Mexico’s most popular recipes. Mexican Chamoy is a lime-flavored sauce made from dried and sweetened apricots that are boiled with water, sugar, and spices (clove, cinnamon, and ginger).

Then it is put in bottles for a long time to mature until it becomes a dark red. When you open a bottle of Chamoy, the fragrant smell of burnt apricot fills your nose, and it is then, when you taste Chamoy, that you can fill your mouth with the taste of lime and lemon, thanks to the sourness from apricots and sugar.

Chamoy pickles are a delightful and tangy treat, combining the flavors of pickles with the sweet, spicy, and savory notes of chamoy sauce. Here’s a simple recipe for making Chamoy Pickles along with estimated nutrition facts per serving:

Ingredients:

1 jar (24 oz) of dill pickle spears or whole pickles
1 cup chamoy sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Tajin seasoning or chili powder (optional, for added spice)

Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions:

Drain the pickles from the jar and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix the chamoy sauce with a pinch of chamoy powder if using.

If desired, sprinkle Tajin seasoning or chili powder over the chamoy-coated pickles for extra spice.
